1. Cora Sandel (Selskabet For Oslo Byes Vel, in Norwegian).
Excerpt (in translation): Sara Cecilie Margareta G๖rvell Fabricius wrote under the pseudonym Cora Sandel and is considered one of Norway's foremost prose stylists. Her dream was to become a painter. For a short period she attended Harriet Backer's painting school before continuing her education in France. But that's how author Cora Sandel became famous. She wrote precisely and colorfully in the five novels and five collections of short stories she published. Throughout her life she lived in Kristiania, Troms๘, France and Sweden, and we find much of her life reflected in her writing. As a writer, she was self-critical, but after publishing the short story "Amors veje" in the journal Mot Dag, the editor in Gyldendal was excited,(Submitted on July 15, 2024.)and encouraged the anonymous author to write a novel. Four years later, she made her debut with the novel "Alberte and Jakob".Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, July 11, 20242.

On the Alberta trilogy: During her years in Paris, Sandel helped support the family with short stories and sketches published in Norway. However, her first novel and first tome in the trilogy, Alberte and Jakob, was not published until 1926, when Sandel was 46 years of age. This began the semi-autobiographical Alberta trilogy. Sandel used many elements from her own life and experiences in her stories, which often centre on the spiritual and societal struggles of women marginalized by the strict confines of 19th century society. The Alberta trilogy traced the protagonist's emotional development juxtaposed with the men in her social circle: as a child, her brother Jacob, and lovers and fellow artists as a young woman in Paris. These novels earned her an immediate place in the Scandinavian canon, but it was not until the 1960s that Sandel, then living quietly in Sweden, was discovered by the English-speaking world.(Submitted on July 15, 2024.)
