Yesterday in Finland was Runeberg Day, named after poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg, which Finns celebrate by eating jam-topped mini Runeberg cakes, widely believed to have been created by Johan's wife, Frederika Charlotta Runeberg. Here's the thing: Frederika was an author in her own right! She was among the first Finns to write historical fiction and was known for her short stories.
"TFW people remember you for some stupid cake."
Fredrika Charlotta Runeberg oli ensimmäisiä suomalaisia historiallisen romaanin kirjoittajia ja merkittävimpiä varhaisia naiskirjailijoita. Romaanien ohella Fredrika Runeberg saavutti suosiota lyhyillä kertomuksillaan. 1900-luvulla Fredrika Runeberg on nostettu merkittävien suomalaisten kirjailijoiden joukkoon.
Niinjoo, ja sitten sillä oli se mies.
Hyvää Runebergin päivää!
