Life
Marie Sophie Schwartz was the illegitimate daughter of the handmaiden Carolina Birath and, probably, her master, the merchant Johan Daniel Broms from the city of Borås . The official biography states that her mother was Albertina Björk (Albertina Björk) and that her father died before the birth of his daughter, leaving them in poverty. The girl was given to a rich adoptive family, which went bankrupt after the death of the adoptive father.
In 1833, rich relatives sent Marie Sofie to study at a boarding school for girls, where she stayed until 1834. In subsequent years, she took private lessons and turned out to be a talented painter. Marie Sophie stopped painting in 1837 after an illness, preferring literary work.
From 1840 to 1858, Marie Sophie lived with Gustav Magnus Schwarz (1783-1858, Gustaf Magnus Schwartz), a professor of physics and technology. By that time, Gustav Magnus was already officially catholic and could not marry Marie Sophie. Nevertheless, they lived together openly as spouses, and Marie Sophie was often referred to as Mrs. Schwartz, despite the fact that she did not take his last name. They had two sons, Gustav Albert Schwartz and Eugene Schwartz.
From her youthful years, Marie-Sophie Schwartz wrote literary works, but she was not allowed to publish. Marie-Sophie debuted in 1851 under the pseudonym Fru MSS ("Mrs MSS"). She became the second woman after Wendela Hebbe, who was given a job in a Swedish newspaper. Marie-Sophie worked from 1851 to 1859, publishing the city newspaper Svenska Tidningen Dagligt Allehanda [1] .
After the death of G. Schwartz, Marie-Sophie lived in Stockholm with Emelie Krook (1828-1889). In 1876, she ceased her literary career.
Literary career
Marie-Sophie Schwartz was a prolific writer, especially after Gustav Magnus Schwartz died in 1858, after which she was forced to rely only on herself. She published many novels in books and pamphlets, participated in discussions on social injustice and women's rights .
Her novels often depict conflicts between classes; they were translated into Danish, German, French, English, Dutch, Czech, Hungarian, and Polish. Among her works was the novel Mannen av börd och qvinnan af folket , written in 1858, in which she criticized the privileges of the nobility.
