Åsa Natacha Linderborg (
née Andersson, born 20 May 1968) is a Swedish writer, columnist and historian . She writes regularly for Aftonbladet
, where she works as chief cultural editor.
Åsa Linderborg was born in the city of
Mälardalen.[1]
Linderborg graduated with a Ph.D. in history from Uppsala University in 2001 with the dissertation Socialdemokraterna skriver historia: Historieskrivning som ideologisk maktresurs ("Social Democrats Write History: History Writing Used as an Ideological Power Resource"), about the Swedish Social Democratic Party.
Mig äger ingen (Nobody Owns Me), was released. The book received good reviews and was nominated for the August Prize in the category best Swedish-language novel of the year. The book was later the basis for a film of the same name starring Mikael Persbrandt.
