Eva Moberg - Biography
Eva Moberg (1932 - 2011) was a Swedish feminist and writer. In 1961 she published the article "Kvinnans villkorliga frigivning" (Woman's Release on Probation), which is considered a Swedish feminist classic. In that article she argued that equality between men and women was still far off, as women were still expected to see marrying and having children as their purpose in life.
Moberg was an early participant in the gender equality debate in Sweden. In 1961 she published the article "Kvinnans villkorliga frigivning" (Woman's Conditional Release), which is considered a Swedish feminist classic. In that article she argued that equality between men and women was still far off, as women were still expected to see marrying and having children as their purpose in life. Her essay started an intense and long-lived debate on men's and women's roles in the family and the society at large.
By the middle of the 1960s she became a member of Group 222, a loosely organized activist group for gender equality. Group 222's and Moberg's ideas of an equitable society criticized the traditional man's role; they claimed to seek not only women's but also men's emancipation. "Men are better than the patriarchy" was one of Moberg's important ideas - it also became the title of a lecture she later held abroad in the 1990s.
In the 1970s, Moberg also became involved in campaigns against nuclear power and later in questions of pollution and as a champion of animal rights. From 1964 to 1976, Moberg was married to TV producer Hans Hederberg, with whom she had a daughter in 1966. Eva Moberg later lived, until her death, with author Gottfried Grafström.
