Maria Sveland

Maria Sveland (born 1974) is an author and journalist from Sweden, best known for the 2007 book "Bitterfittan" (a made up Swedish compound noun which could be translated as either "Bittercunt" or "The Bitter Cunt" or less literally "Bitterbitch" or "The Bitter Bitch"). "Bitterfittan" is, according to Sveland, not an autobiography but rather a work inspired by her own experiences. The book criticises the institutionalised nuclear family from a radical feminist perspective, pointing out issues such as women's unpaid domestic labour, sexual violence, and the disproportional male/female use of parental leave.
Sveland contributed to the 2013 Swedish documentary "Surfing the Web of Hate".
"Bitterfan 2" was released in 2017.
