About the author

Aino Malmberg (1865–1933) was a Finnish writer and political figure, born in Hollola and died in Helsinki. A graduate of the University of Helsinki, she worked as an English teacher. Because of her involvement in the movement against Russian rule, she went into exile in Britain in 1910, where she represented the Independent Labour Party at the Second International's Copenhagen Congress; she returned to Finland after independence. Her works, such as Totta ja leikkiä (Serious and Playful), combine serious and light material, and she also translated works by George Bernard Shaw. Three of her works are held in the collection, including Yksinkö? and Tien ohesta tempomia, but public information is limited, and her writing style and literary influence await further study.
