Ása Sólveig

Ása Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir (January 12, 1945 – December 10, 2015) was an Icelandic writer. Her debut novel, ''Einkamál Stefaníu'' (1978), was a nominee for the Nordic Council Literature Prize.

Sólveig's work centers on the issues faced by women and other marginalized people in Iceland, and "enact[s] a muted but painful confrontation with the myth of the strong, close-knit Icelandic family." Provided by Wikipedia
