Description was written before the event

Join us in Norrmalm during the 1800s and discover the life stories of women connected to this area. Some remain well-known to us today, while others have faded from memory. Among young ladies, actresses, baronesses, and seamstresses emerges a portrait of Stockholm as it was just before the great transformation. These women made their mark where possible - in philanthropy, theatre, or as pioneers in entrepreneurship and civic life.

About the venue: Gustav Adolfs torg, in front of the Royal Swedish Opera

Gustav Adolfs torg is one of Stockholm's most central squares, situated right in front of the Royal Swedish Opera by the waterway Strömmen. The square is dominated by an equestrian statue of Gustav II Adolf, erected in 1796, and regularly serves as an outdoor venue for public events.
