Women criticise Swedish for handing out ‘sexist’ awards
The criticism came in an article in the tabloid Aftonbladet the same day the Nobel prizes were handed out in Sweden and Norway.
One of the nine women who wrote the article was Ebba Britt Brattstroem, a professor in literary history and wife of Horace Engdahl, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, which picks the Nobel Literature Prize winners.
