Torfhildur Þorsteinsdóttir
Torfhildur Þorsteinsdóttir, also known as Torfhildur Hólm (2 February 1845 – 14 November 1918) was an Icelandic author, who lived for many years in Canada. She was perhaps the first Icelander to make a living as an author,〔Shaffner, Ruth. "The Women of Iceland." In ''The Chautauquan, Volume 22.'' Edited by Theodore L. Flood and Frank Chapin Bray. 1896. 270.〕 and is frequently cited as the first Icelandic woman novelist.〔
==Biography==
Torfhildur was born at Kálfafellsstaður in Skaftafellssýsla (now in Austur-Skaftafellssýsla), where her father, Þorsteinn Einarson, was a clergyman. She went to Reykjavík at age 17 and studied there and in Copenhagen and worked as a private teacher〔Wolf, Kirsten. ("Þorsteinsdóttir, Torfhildur (Holm)" ), ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography'' Volume 14 (1998).〕 before marrying Jakob Hólm when she was 29. He died a year later and in 1876 she emigrated to Canada, where she lived in New Iceland and Winnipeg for 13 years.〔("Skáldkonan Torfhildur Hólm" ), ''Lesbók Morgunblaðsins'', 11 February 1945, p. 77 〕 After working as a teacher for a number of years, she returned to Iceland in 1889 and two years later was granted a writer's pension by the Althing, the first woman to receive such artistic support; there was disagreement about the appropriateness of the award and it was reduced and ultimately made part of her widow's pension.〔 She died in Reykjavík.
