Biography

Snellman obtained good results in drawing and mathematics in her school leaving examination after her schooling in the Stockholm district of Djursholm. As a result, her father, a bank manager, engaged Gunnar Asplund to introduce her to architecture. In 1920, she was admitted to the Royal Institute of Technology as a special student but the following year, after a change in the statutes, she was given the status of a regular student. In 1924, Snellman was the first woman to graduate in architecture under the new rules.[2]

In August 1924, she was employed as an architect by Ragnar Hjorth (1887–1971).[3] In 1925, she took up employment with the architect Dag Ribbing (1898–1980), whom she married. She later undertook commissions together with her son Lennart Ribbing (1927–1993).[1]
