Una Guðmundsdóttir

Una Guðmundsdóttir (18 November 1894 – 4 October 1978), known as Una í Garði (Una in Garður) and Una of Sjólyst, was an Icelandic educator and psychic.

Una Guðmundsdóttir was born in the schoolhouse in the town of Garður on 18 November 1894, the youngest of seven children of Guðmundur Jónsson and Guðríður Þórðardóttir. Her mother died in January 1895, when Una was about 8 weeks old. Una's father was drowned in March 1899, when Una was 4; she and her siblings were raised by Sigurlaug Sveinbjarnardóttir, and Una remained with her until her death in 1927 at the age of 82. For decades, Una ran one of the first primary schools in the country, barnastúka Siðsemd nr. 14, as headmistress from 26 October 1934 to 11 December 1954, and after that as deputy head for another 12 years. Because of her teaching, the house was also referred to as "the schoolhouse", and for a while the local library was housed there. She was also important in the local temperance movement and in producing plays. which was the title of a 1969 book by Gunnar M. Magnúss focussing on one of her experiences, which sold out in three weeks and made her nationally known; Many people consulted her for advice. She had a reputation as a healer, once greatly helping a reporter with his bad back, and children brought injured birds to her to be nursed back to health.

Legacy Una's house was to have been demolished like those near it, but was bought and preserved. In November 2011 a group was formed to honour her memory, and they are restoring the house to turn it into a museum.

, Guðmundur Magnússon was also working on a documentary about her.
