Journalist and author Fatima Bremmer has been awarded the Moa Prize 2025.

The award ceremony will take place at 2:00 PM on January 24 at the ABF House on Sveavägen in Stockholm.
Fatima Bremmer
An Authorship in the Spirit of Moa Martinson
In her books, Fatima Bremmer has consistently brought forward women’s experiences and living conditions. In The Last Ladies (De sista tanterna), she portrays everyday life among working-class women, while A Damn Ray of Sunshine (Ett jävla solsken) and The League (Ligan) tell the stories of radical female journalists and feminists who challenged their time. Together, these books form an authorship that helps broaden and deepen historical storytelling.
