About Elise Ottesen-Jensen
Elise Ottesen-Jensen, also known as Ottar (2 January 1886 − 4 September 1973), was a Norwegian-Swedish sex educator, journalist, and anarchist agitator, whose main mission was to fight for women's rights to understand and control their own body and sexuality. She was a member of the Swedish anarcho-syndicalist union Central Organisation of the Workers of Sweden. Her followers consider her a pioneer in the field of women's rights and feminism. Her personal motto was "I dream of the day when every new born child is welcome, when men and women are equal, and when sexuality is an expression of intimacy, joy and tenderness." She then set out for her first nationwide tour, in Sweden. In 1933, Ottar, together with a number of radical medical doctors and trade union representatives, founded the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (Swedish: Riksförbundet för sexuell upplysning, RFSU).
