How did Icelandic society view spinsters and how did they view themselves? Did they have real choice in life and what about love?
This inspiring and accessible non-fiction by historian Sigríður Kristín Þorgrímsdóttir, is based on her extensive research on the lives and situation of single Icelandic women in a what can surely be described as tumultuous times in Icelandic history. The main focus being on the remarkable collection of letters by Thoru Friðriksson who lived in Reykjavík in the late nineteenth century.
She belonged to the upper class of the Reykjavík society and as such had many privileges and remained single all her life. Her letters cast a remarkable view on the emerging Icelandic society.
