	Camilla Collett published numerous essays and books discussing the women situation, dealing both with the small annoyances of women’s everyday life and more general problems, such as for instance the image of women in 19th century novels and prostitution. She was recognized as an important author, but some male critics praised her writing style more than her themes, and quite a few, both men and women, rejected her social criticism. Collett became an icon for the Norwegian women’s right movement of the 1880s. Nowadays Camilla Collett belongs to the Norwegian literary canon and is a celebrated feminist pioneer.
