About
Jump to
Maria Lovisa Åhrberg or Årberg (17 May 1801 in Uppsala, – 26 March 1881 in Stockholm,), was a Swedish surgeon and doctor. She was lawfully practicing surgeon long before it became formally permitted for women to study medicine at a university in 1870. Lovisa Åhrberg could be regarded as the first female physician in Sweden with formal permit from the authorities to practice medicine: however, she had no formal training, and the first woman physician with a university degree was to be Karolina Widerström.
