- Märta Tikkanen was born in Helsinki, Finland. She graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Helsinki in 1958 and earned a master's in philosophy in 1961. She was married to Henrik Tikkanen, also a writer. She worked as a journalist and as a teacher of Swedish for several years before turning to writing novels in the Swedish language. She made her debut in 1970 with Nu Imorron (Now Tomorrow). Her novel Män kan inte våldtas (Men Can't Be Raped, 1975) was adapted into a film in 1978. Other works include an autobiographical poetry collection Århundradets kärlekssaga (The Love Story of the Century, 1978); an autobiographical novel, Rödluvan (Little Red Riding Hood, 1986); and a novel about her maternal grandparents, Emma and Uno (2010). She has received a number of awards and honours, including the 2002 Finland Prize from The Swedish Academy.

En oikein osaa sanoa mitään järkevää runoteoksista. Pidin tästä, koska runot ovat helppotajuisia? Tikkanen kirjoittaa aiheesta, joka on ajataon ja kulttuurien rajoista piittaamaton. Vaikken olekaan perheellinen, pystyin tuntemaan mitä Märta ajatteli ja tunsi, näkemään sen ristiriitaisuuden. Muutama runo aihepiirin sivusta jäi myös vahvasti mieleen.
An interesting series of poems about life as a woman. She captures all the angst and despair of a life lived in the service of another person, even when you are educated and intelligent, and might want to do something to "make a name" rather than just waiting on him while he "makes a name". In addition, she writes about the anger and pain of living with and loving an alcoholic with gritty details that you might not think are appropriate in poetry, but it adds power to the story. A quick read, and one that is thought provoking.… (altro)
Alltid läsvärda böcker om starka men utsatta kvinnor. Denna bok är också en intressant beskrivning av Grönland.
