Einsteins fru

Liv Strömquist’s Einsteins fru (2008–present, Ordfront Galago) is a single-issue comic that launched her career as a sharp, witty commentator on gender, power, and intellectual history. In this debut, Strömquist skewers the erasure of women in science—taking its title from the overlooked wives of geniuses—with her trademark blend of academic critique and deadpan humor. It matters as the first published work from a creator who would go on to become one of Sweden’s most influential comic artists, establishing the satirical, feminist voice that defines her later series.
