Жизнь

Стайна Квинт родилась 13 апреля 1859 года в приходе Фрилестад, Скания , один из пяти детей, родившихся от солдата Олы Квинт и Эльны Кристины. Квинт училась в государственной школе Фрилестада, а в период с 1874 по 1875 год она прошла обучение учителей в Småskollärarinneseminariet в Ланскроне . Она работала учителем младшей школы в Скании. В 1876 году она поступила в программу обучения учителей государственной школы в Стокгольме . После получения степени она начала работать школьным учителем в Hudiksvall. В 1880 году она преподавала в государственной школе в Никопинге .

While working as a school-teacher, Quint championed for providing better reading opportunities to children, and she sought to publish new reading materials for them. As an active member of the local public-school teacher association in Arnö, she had close connection with the Swedish public-school teachers' association, Sveriges Folkskollärarförbund. She approached the association with a proposal to publish one weekly magazine for school children. However, her proposition was rejected. With the support of Sophie Adlersparre, the founder of Home Review, Quint earned a letter of recommendation in favour of publication of the children's journal.

Quint developed a close friendship with fellow school-teacher Lilly Hellström, who served as a translator and writer for the magazine. The first issue of the journal entitled Folkskolans barntidning (later known as Kamratposten) was published on 16 March 1892, and it was printed at the bookbindery of Hellström's father. Among the magazine's contributors were eminent contemporary writers such as Jenny Nyström, Ottilia Adelborg, Elsa Beskow, Anna Maria Roos, Matilda Roos, and Cecilia Bååth-Holmberg. Since its inception, the magazine showed the works of a broad array of women writers, and a complimentary issue of the journal Till Föräldrar, Tidskrift för att sprida goda uppfostringsgrundsatser was subsequently published.

In 1896, Quint and Hellström moved to Stockholm, where they set up a publishing house for children's books. Quint was in charge of the company while Hellström served as its executive director. The company expanded its publications, which included a children's Christmas-time publication Julklappen, a journal Linnea, calendars Guldslottet, Tummetott, Gullebrand, and Trisse, as well as the storybook Rosengull. These publications involved the same writers and illustrators who contributed to Folkskolans barntidning.

In 1904, Quint and Hellström moved to Villa Hagen in Elfvik, Lidingö, and Hellström served as Quint's co-editor. During this time, the villa became an influential meeting forum for writers, suffragettes, artists, and municipal politicians. Quint was active in politics, reform, and was an active member of the women's suffrage movement. She served as a member of the women's association Kvinnoklubben in Stockholm for 12 years, and was in charge of handling the finances of Dagny, a journal published by the cultural association Fredrika Bremer Association. In 1902, she was elected as a board member of the Föreningen för kvinnans politiska rösträtt (Society for Women's Suffrage), and remained its treasurer until 1913. Following the election in 1914, she was appointed as a representative of Allmänna valmansförbundet (AVF). Along with Hellström, Quint became an active member of the Moderate Party women's association and its committee, which worked closely with AVF on women's suffrage. After its inception, she was elected as the deputy chair of Moderata Kvinnors Rösträttsförening (Moderate Party Women's Suffrage Association), and remained till 1919.

Quint died on 30 October 1924 in Stockholm.
