Nils Wohlin was a Swedish civil servant and public figure, most notably recognized for his role as the second husband of Andrea Andreen, a pioneering physician and social activist. Wohlin's professional and personal life intersected with significant developments in Swedish social policy during the early to mid-20th century.
Early Life and Career
[edit]Details about Nils Wohlin's early life and education are not widely documented in available English-language sources. However, he emerged as a significant figure in Swedish public administration, particularly noted for his chairmanship of the 1935 Swedish census commission. This commission was tasked with addressing several pressing social issues, including employment rights for women, contraceptive legislation, and public health initiatives.[1]
Marriage to Andrea Andreen
[edit]Nils Wohlin became closely associated with Andrea Andreen during their collaborative work on the 1935 census commission. Andreen, renowned for her contributions to medicine and social reform, took on several key responsibilities within the commission, including advocating for women's employment rights and improved child welfare measures. Wohlin and Andreen's professional partnership developed into a personal relationship, and they married in 1937. Their marriage lasted until 1942[1].
"Nils Wohlin became her second husband during the time they worked on the commission together. They were married from 1937 to 1942."[1]
Public Service and Legacy
[edit]As chair of the census commission, Wohlin worked alongside other prominent Swedish intellectuals and policymakers, including Gunnar Myrdal and Elin Wägner. The commission's work had a lasting impact on Swedish social policy, particularly in areas concerning gender equality and social welfare[1].
While Nils Wohlin is often mentioned in the context of his marriage to Andrea Andreen, his leadership within the commission and his contributions to Swedish public administration are notable. His tenure coincided with a period of significant social reform in Sweden, and his collaborative work with Andreen and others helped shape policies that addressed the rights and welfare of women and children[1].
Personal Life
[edit]Wohlin's marriage to Andrea Andreen was his most publicly documented relationship. The couple's shared commitment to social reform and public service was a defining feature of their partnership. After their divorce in 1942, Andreen continued her influential work in medicine and activism[1].
