Thanks for your work on the article, Ashleyyoursmile. The lead has "Åkerhielm was known as an active campaigner against women's suffrage and democracy." which I think is a little different from the cited body text that "Åkerhielm advocated against women's suffrage and democracy....." (Somebody being an advocate does not necessarily mean that they are known for it.) I'm open to hearing a counterargument, otherwise this should be easily resolved by a minor amendment in either the lead or body. The skbl.se source was checked via machine translation. The www.svd.se source wanted me to register, so I think a "url-access=registration" parameter should be added to that reference in the article, but all info for the hook is verified in the skbl.se source anyway.

BennyOnTheLoose, my apologies. "Active campaigner" is correct and I have revised the prose accordingly in the body. Please let me know if anything else needs to be addressed. Thank you for the review. Ashleyyoursmile! 10:11, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Support for Nazism, adulation of Hitler

I'm surprised there is no mention of her outspoken support for Nazism, and Hitler in particular, given the hook that she "was an active campaigner against women's suffrage and democracy" used to ask "did you know?" I'm no scholar in this field, so I leave it to others to decide what should be said on this point, but the little I could find through googling suggests that her support was not ambiguous, as in the case of Lindbergh, but whole-hearted, lasting until her death. See https://www.skbl.se/en/article/AnnieAkerhielm ("She believed that Hitler was the greatest being since Jesus Christ and that everyone needed to help keep his legacy alive"). Judging from the snippets from "Sweden after Nazism: Politics and Culture in the Wake of the Second World War" that Google Books displays, there is a wealth of scholarship in Swedish on the larger topic. --Zeno Cosini~enwiki (talk) 09:04, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
