Carin Mannheimer (born Karin Birgitta Jacobson; 17 August 1934 – 11 July 2014) was a Swedish dramatist, screenwriter, author and film director, born in Osby, Sweden.
She garnered acclaim with Rapport om kvinnor (swedish: Report on Women), which was published in 1969.
The book is a collection of interviews with Swedish women from the working class.
This was during a time period of awakening feminism in Sweden when women were assumed to want to work outside the home.
The interviews, however, revealed that many women did not want to work outside the home, would have preferred to care for their children but had no economic choice.
For this reason, Mannheimer was criticized by the women's movement in Sweden, and the book established her reputation as a social critic.
