She bore a secret which she turned into stories about strong girls and lonely boys. She was a female pioneer, she gave solace and influenced politics and public debate. Taught us respect for children and was an activist against war, racism and nuclear power. She was needed in Sweden and around the world. But what was it that made her stories talk to people, across all cultural boundaries?
