  1. A DOLL’S HOUSE A play by Henrik Ibsen written in 1879 “It is a serious play, really a domestic family drama, dealing with contemporary problems in regard to marriage” Ibsen, letter to Emund Gosse, Rome, 4 July 1879

  2. The Inspiration for Nora in A Doll’s House Ibsen first became acquainted with the young Norwegian woman, Laura Kieler, when he had been encouraging of her literary efforts. During their friendship in 1871, Ibsen is known to have called her his ‘skylark’ Hoare, Eileen, 2002,[Programme notes] ‘The Inspiration for Nora’, A Doll’s House, Production by Sydney Theatre Company, Wharf 1,

  3. Ibsen and Women ‘I thank you for your toast, but must disclaim the honour of having consciously worked for women’s rights. I am not even quite sure what women’s rights really are. To me, [the play] has been a question of human rights…it is incidentally desirable to solve the problem of women; but my [main] task has been the portrayal of human beings’ Ibsen, to the Norwegian Society for Women’s Rights, 26 May, 1898

  4. Ibsen and Women Women provided for Ibsen an example of humanity struggling for emancipation yet trapped by conventions.
