Eva Neander

Eva Lydia Carolina Neander (3 April 1921, in Jukkasjärvi – 22 February 1950, in Tiveden) was a Swedish journalist as well as being one of the most eminent authors and poets of the 1940s. On 22 February 1950, she disappeared and was found dead, frozen in ice in Lake Unden. Neander's mother was Emilia Karolina Neader née Svanberg, followed by a position at social democratic newspaper Västgöta-Demokraten in Borås, where she worked as a proofreader. It was at Västgöta-Demokraten that Neander began her writing career, writing poems, published under the name Eva-Caisa Neander about a sensitive, thin-skinned and clumsy young girl named Bitte, who is desperate for intimacy but shies away from it.

Rediscovery After Neander’s death, she was largely forgotten as was her work.
