Swedish proletarian author and spiritualist medium Ebba Richert (1904-1980), photo by Rolf Winquist, 1964. Some of her books were filmed (one starring Viveca Lindfors, Brödernas kvinna 1943). She was introduced to #spiritualism by Jan Fridegård, a leading proletarian author.

I'm quite sure it is Ebba Richert in this pic from the set of the shooting of Brödernas kvinna, 1943. She was the screenwriter as well as author of the original book the film was based on. (Pic: Svensk Filmdatabas).
