Astrid Lindgren - Pippi Longstocking

A Video Talk

back to Video Talks

Inger Nilsson as Pippi Longstocking, 1969

She is feisty, feminist, and she fights injustice. She dresses oddly, has a face covered in freckles, and is incredibly strong, both physically and mentally. The little girl with red hair in sticking-out plaits, and with a monkey perched on her shoulder, has made her way into millions of hearts in the form of the original book, the film versions, and the theme parks.

Who was the unconventional, strong woman who created Pippi Longstocking, and how did the beloved tale come into being?

“Pippi Longstocking has influenced legions of women from Michelle Obama to Madonna.”
― Michael Billington

But who was Pippi’s creator?

Today we think of Sweden as a very liberated and modern society, but how did young Astrid Lindgren shock her puritanical Swedish townsfolk? What was it that inspired the creation of a girl who faces up to bullies when the Swedish were holding a neutral position during World War II? What laws did Astrid Lindgren change and how did she improve her society by using the popularity of her novels?

    Many thanks, Susannah for allowing Pippi to come back into our household after all these years. She was a much-loved heroine of ours and it was delightful to hear about her story and that of her creator Astrid Lindgren. As always your talks are engaging and full of incredible insights. Hopefully, there will be more Pippi followers as a result of your latest video talk.

      So glad that Pippi was a part of your household, Anne, though I imagine her cooking techniques would horrify George!
      I really loved seeing places in Sweden connected with Astrid Lindgren and just hope that one day I will be able to travel there again.
