Fröken Frimans krig ("Miss Friman's War") is a Swedish drama television series that first aired on SVT in December 2013 for three episodes during the Christmas and New Years weekend.[1] Sissela Kyle plays women's rights advocate Dagmar Friman,[2] a fictitious version of Anna Whitlock, who in 1905 founded the consumer cooperative Svenska hem. The series is written by Pernilla Oljelund,[1] and is based partly on the book Svenska Hem – en passionerad affär (2005) by Monika Björk and Eva Kaijser. Following the success of the series, the book was re-released in 2013 under the name Svenska Hem – Den sanna historien om Fröken Frimans krig.[1] Fröken Frimans krig is directed by Mikael Hellström and produced by Maria Nordenberg. A second season aired in December 2015, again for the Christmas and New Years weekend, with three more episodes.[3] A third season aired in December 2016,[2][4] and the fourth season aired in December 2017, with three more episodes each.

The series has been aired in Iran, Mexico, and Slovenia as of December 2015.[5]

Roles

Criticism and fiction

In the Sveriges Radio show Vetenskapsradion Historia (aired 8 May 2014), historian Anita du Rietz stated that the series inaccurately portrays the situation of women during the early 1900s, and also misrepresents the work of Anna Whitlock.[6] According to du Rietz, women's working situation at the time was much better than what is shown in the series.[6]
