Ælfthryth appears as a witness in a significant number of her husband [Edgar's] charters. Moreover, Ælfthryth is the first royal woman in England to regularly subscribe charters as regina. And, of course, Ælfthryth is the first recorded native-born English woman to be crowned as a queen consort to a king of the West Saxon dynasty. Arguably, however, all these legitimating activities placed her in better stead to exercise power as queen mother than as queen consort. For all the unprecedented recognition she receives as queen during her tenure as royal consort, it is in the early years of Æthelred's reign, as the mother [and effective regent] of a minor ruler, that Ælfthryth truly reached the apex of her agency as queen.

— Matthew Firth, Early English Queens, 850-1000: Potestas Reginae

While the transmission and adaption of Ælfthryth's reputation over time is a fascinating subject in its own right, it is unfortunate that the biography of the first-known crowned queen consort of England has been overshadowed by a single moment of scandal. The woman who comes into focus from contemporary sources was a remarkably adept player of the politics of the kingdom. While her agency remained delimited by her relationship to the king, she can also take great credit for testing the boundaries of what it meant to be a queen in late Anglo-Saxon England. Like the men who surrounded her, she understood the importance of making and maintaining political alliances. She recognised the importance of patronising the Church and forging relationships with ecclesiastical lords. She realised the opportunity that acting as an advocate at court for women and for clerics would afford her. Most of all, when Ælfthryth saw an opportunity for personal political advancement, she took it. As such, whether intended or not, Ælfthryth set new precedents and prerogatives for her successors and so materially moved the role of the queen towards one of political office.

I could know the ‘place of inward retirement’ wherever I was, or whatever I was doing, and find the spiritual refreshment for which, knowingly or unknowingly, I was longing, and hear the voice of God in my heart. Thus I began to realise that prayer was not a formality, or an obligation, it was a place which was there all the time and always available.

Elfrida Andrée

Elfrida Andrée, compositrice, è stata la prima donna svedese a dirigere un’orchestra sinfonica.

Tra le prime organiste ufficialmente riconosciute in Scandinavia, nel 1899 ha composto l’opera Fritiofs saga con libretto di Selma Lagerlöf, scrittrice premio Nobel per la Letteratura.

Nata a Visby il 19 febbraio 1841, la musica ha fatto parte della sua vita sin da bambina.

A sedici anni aveva già conseguito il diploma di organista presso la Reale Accademia di Musica ma alle donne non era permesso di esercitare.

C’è voluto tempo e tenacia, affinché riuscisse a far eliminare l’ostacolo legislativo, nel 1861.

Dal 1867 è stata l’organista ufficiale della Cattedrale di Göteborg.

Per perseguire il suo sogno si è scontrata con i pregiudizi maschili, il compositore danese Niels Gade, all’inizio, l’aveva osteggiata in ogni modo per poi cambiare idea quando si era reso conto di avere a che fare con un considerevole talento.

Elfrida Andrée ha diretto circa ottocento Concerti popolari e prodotto oltre cento brani.

Nel 1895 ha vinto il premio Litteris et Artibus e nel 1908 è entrata a far parte dell’Accademia delle donne.

Eletta nell’Accademia Reale di Musica, nel 1897, venne nominata a capo dei Concerti dell’Istituto dei lavoratori di Göteborg, diventando la prima donna in Svezia a dirigere un’orchestra sinfonica.

Attiva nel movimento per i diritti delle donne, ha formato diverse musiciste sostenendo la loro presenza nel mondo dell’interpretazione e della composizione musicale.

Ha scritto diversi componimenti per orchestra tra cui due sinfonie (suonate ancora oggi), diversi pezzi per violino e per pianoforte, due messe svedesi, la ballata corale Snöfrid del 1879 e diversi lieder.

Si è spenta l’11 gennaio 1929 a Göteborg.

Queen Ælfthryth (964–975) wife of Edgar the Peaceable (959–975) was described in contemporary sources as something like a “super abbess,” a religious superior over female monastic houses in England, responsible for defending them all. Ælfthryth embraced a judicial role as an advocate or forspeca for female religious. Thus, she moved between two spheres of the early English world—the sole woman who could enter the male legal world of the English to represent voiceless nuns. This separation was underscored, however, not weakened by the idea that only one special royal woman could span it. The cases in which Ælfthryth acted, moreover, record explicitly that it was her gender that allowed her to advocate for monastic women. There are seven cases extant for her and only one involves a male claimant—the abbot of Bury St. Edmonds. What Ælfthryth offered in these cases was mediation—an intervention that was an institutionalised adjunct to the royal court. Ælfthryth’s formalised juridical activity is the first inkling of such a role for English queens.
