Life and work

Aino Emma Wilhelmina Malmberg née Perenius (February 24, 1865 – February 3, 1933) was a Finnish writer and politician.

Malmberg was born in Hollola to Pastor John Perenius and Edla Olivia Björkstén. She took her matriculation examination in 1884 and graduated from the University of Helsinki in 1886. Malmberg then worked as an English teacher at various schools, and from 1898 to 1908 at the Finnish Business Institute.

Malmberg had to leave Finland in 1910 to England because of her participation in the fight against the Russian government. She represented the Independent Labour Party at the eighth congress of the Second International at Copenhagen in 1910. She returned to Finland upon the country's independence in 1917.

In 1912 Malmberg wrote "Woman Suffrage in Finland".
