As part of my Swedish language studies last year, we were required to give an oral presentation about a famous Swedish woman. After doing a bit of online research, I settled on Maria Lovisa Årberg (1801-1881), thought to be the first woman formally practising medicine (and surgery) in Sweden. Hers is a fascinating story, which can be appreciated in English through this Wikipedia article:

However, for those who can read Swedish, here is the link to my Powerpoint presentation about Maria Lovisa Årberg. I must thank some wonderful Swedish friends for proof-reading the presentation and providing valuable feedback which turned the finished product into something which the Swedish teacher said she could not fault grammatically!
