Comment: The Swedish Wikipedia article is much better in content and sources. See here in Wikipedia's Google translate form which links to sources like this which also come up translated. StarryGrandma (talk) 21:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: This has good foundations but I am under the impression there are some translation errors. I'll poke around to see if I can find a native Swedish or German speaker to help out.Specifically: I can't figure out what school she was a senior lecturer at, and I don't think "Folkskoleseminariet" is actually a school -- the citation calls it "Folkskolesem i Sthlm" which I also am not sure is the right name of the school. It also seems unlikely that she was responsible for achieving universal suffrage as part of Kvinnliga Akademikers Förening. Both of these I could be wrong on! I don't speak Swedish 😊 SiliconRed (he/him) (talk) 20:35, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- FYI, Folkskoleseminarium is a teacher training college, specifically for primary school teachers. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Eva Julia Augusta Ramstedt (15 September 1879 - 11 September 1974) was a Swedish physicist who specialized in radiology and studied under Nobel laureate Marie Curie.[1] She was heavily involved in women's rights in academia and was among the founding members of an association for female academics now known as Kvinnliga Akademikers Förening. Due in part to the association's efforts, several legal changes were enacted that nudged female academics closer to having the same rights as their male colleagues, including a change to the Basic Laws of Sweden in 1909 and advocating for universal suffrage in 1921.[2]
In 1879, she was born in Stockholm, Sweden to a family with notable socioeconomic capital due to her father's work as a politician.[1] She attended Uppsala University as an undergraduate and graduate student. She finished her doctorate on the properties of expanding liquids at Uppsala University in 1910.[3] After earning her doctorate, she studied under Marie Curie at Sorbonne University in Paris. In 1903, she returned to Sweden and began working at the Nobel Institute of Physical Chemistry.[3] She was appointed to a radiology position at Stockholms högskola (Stockholm University College) in 1915 and continued until 1932. However as a woman she was not considered for a permanent professorship and taught classes there only briefly. Instead she also became a teacher of mathematics and physics at the Stockholm Folkskoleseminariet, a normal school (teacher training college), from 1919 to 1945.[4]
Throughout her career, Ramstedt collaborated with many other scientists. Some of her most notable work was produced through her collaboration with Norway-based radiochemist Ellen Gleditsch. They studied radiology, specifically the half-life of radium. In 1917, they published a book on the subject called Radium och radioaktiva processor. As a result of her work, Ramstedt received the Illis quorum of the eighth degree in 1942.[1]
