  Abstract:  Ibsens Frauen. In my article on “Ibsen’s Women” (”Ibsens Frauen”) I have dwelt broadly on the relations between Ibsen’s female friends and his writings. This theme is, of course, a general and often discussed matter. However, my article will focus on his wife, Suzannah, her lifelong devotedness and clever contribution to her husband’s artistic work. Her family background, her talents and literary knowledge were greatly appreciated by the author. She was an ardent reader, had exquisite taste and participated in the creation of his dramatic characters as they daily had their discussions and exchange of views on his writing. It was in accordance with her character and wish that she posed in the background. On the other hand; her contribution to his dramatic production has rarely been dealt with, and my intention here, is to give her a more central position.
