Career

Her first book, Шаблон:Ill (English: Do Not Just Cut the Rice), was published in 1977, and relied heavily on her personal journals during the 1960s and 1970s.Шаблон:Sfn At the time of publication, she was working in psychiatry.Шаблон:Sfn She said in an interview that the popular changes in attitude toward feminism had inspired her to publish the book, and she looked up to the works of women writers Suzanne Brøgger and Erica Jong;Шаблон:Sfn she was also inspired by Anaïs Nin.Шаблон:Sfn The book was controversial upon release;Шаблон:Sfn it was a confessional piece of literature, that sought to make conservative readers confront their beliefs about the genre being feminine, while also seeking to make feminist readers accept the genre as a potential commercial product.Шаблон:Sfn The Swedish author Ebba Witt-Brattström said Klingspor was a leader in the feminist movement "when we recreated the world".[1] It was criticised as being too private, even for a diary; for not considering issues that women commonly faced, such as child-rearing; and her sexual writing was seen as "nymphomaniac" by contemporary reviewers.[2]

After Inte skära bara rispa, she published about ten books between 1977 and 1991.Шаблон:Sfn The Swedish author Anna-Karin Palm commented that two of these books—Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang—were particularly meaningful for her, and that they demonstrated a sense of "sincerity that is not entirely common".[3] After 1991, she turned to writing art criticism for the Swedish magazine Expressen and other publications.Шаблон:Sfn She wrote other novels after turning to art criticism, and released a collection of photographs in 1997 entitled Minne.Шаблон:Sfn She earned grants from the Swedish Academy (2007) and Albert Bonniers Förlag (2008).Шаблон:Sfn

The cultural critic Cecilia Alstermark wrote in 2013 that Klingspor's writing should be read because of her observational skills; Klingspor wrote variously of her own personal experiences, but also those of migrants, the homeless, in the northern region of Norrland, and in Iran.Шаблон:Sfn
