10 Ellen Key
which are due many of the disappointments
which ruined his political career.
Sophie Posse had married Emil Key, known
as "Scandinavian,"^ contributor to Afton-
bladef, "Revolutionist" and Almkvist^ en-
thusiast, much to her noble family's chagrin.
But her father had settled the matter with
the simple words: " I married for love myself,
and my children shall do the same."
Sophie Key, like her husband, was broad-
minded in the best sense of the word. Though
both were aristocratic in mind and manner
they held democratic opinions. As an example,
it may be stated that Fru Key never allowed
anyone to call her Countess, but declined the
title, something quite unusual in those days.
Her views in regard to most questions were
extremely modern, even if compared with the
view of our own times. In politics she was a
Radical. She showed her interest in the
children and young girls of the parish by
founding a Home for the rearing of unpro-
tected girls and training them for housework.
Twenty women of the yeomanry cooperated
with her in this enthusiastic work.

countries instead of a narrow patriot.—Translator's footnote.

footnote.
