Caja Rude (original) (raw)

Caja Rude née Løvgreen (1884–1949) was a popular Danish novelist, short story writer and journalist. Most of her works were for young women but she also wrote for adults. A keen supporter of women's rights, she frequently addressed the need for women to be better educated in order to become self-sufficient and take up jobs in industry. She covered women's affairs for the journal Social-Democraten. Her most popular work Kammerat Tinka (1938) emphasizes women's education, class consciousness and the need for a working-class culture.
