Ester Hofvander-Sandberg
Ester Eugenia Hofvander-Sandberg (10 February 1888 – 7 October 1967) was one of Sweden's first female lawyers.[citation needed]
Born in Skårby, Hofvander-Sandberg started studies at the law faculty of Lund University in 1911.[1] She graduated with a jur. kand. degree in May 1915.[2] She was the seventh woman in Sweden to complete the degree.[1]
As a lawyer, Hofvander-Sandberg was known to be an energetic and sharp lawyer, and she ran her processes with an iron hand. For her efforts during her professional life, Hofvander-Sandberg was named a member of the first class of the Order of Vasa in November 1955.[1] Hofvander-Sandberg died in Eslöv.
