Inger Maria Alfvén (24 February 1940 – 26 July 2022)[1][2] was a Swedish author and sociologist from Solna in Stockholm County.

Alfvén became a sociologist in 1964 and worked as a counselor.[3]

Her books depict existential and moral conflicts such as inherited gender roles, love, lifelong friendship, and loneliness. She had her big breakthrough with the novel S/Y Glädjen in 1979.[4]

In 2002, Alfvén made her debut as a playwright with the play The Rainbow's Root (Regnbågens rot), which is about three sisters' lives and development during the last decades of the last century.[4]

Her books consisted often of what moves through human consciousness.[_citation needed_]
