Preface to the electronic edition

Lousie Nyström-Hamilton’s biography of Ellen Key was published in Swedish in 1904. This English translation appeared in 1913. The book has been digitized several times. We used a digitization made at the University of California Libraries in April 2008 by the Internet Archive, from where the scanned images and OCR text in January 2026 were copied to Project Runeberg. We have white-balanced the page images, increasing the contrast.

This volume was scanned elsewhere and made available by the Internet Archive, from where the scanned images were copied to Project Runeberg. We very much appreciate that they have made this possible and want to encourage other digital library projects to follow their example. Read more about Project Runeberg's image sources.

The above contents can be inspected in scanned images: cover, frontispiece, title page, verso of title leaf, xv
