Maria Sveland

Maria Sveland is an author and journalist from Sweden, best known for the 2007 book Bitterfittan. Bitterfittan is, according to Sveland, not an autobiography but rather a work inspired by her own experiences. The book criticises the institutionalised nuclear family from a radical feminist perspective, pointing out issues such as women's unpaid domestic labour, sexual violence, and the disproportional male/female use of parental leave.
