Early life
Fredrikke Marie Schjöth (or Schjödt or Schiøt) was born in Drammen, Norway,[1] the daughter of Jens Rudolf Schjöth and Inger Claudine Schjöth (née Thomesen). She studied art in Norway with Knud Bergslien, and in Berlin with Karl Gussow.[2]

Fredrikke Palmer was a member of the Society of Cleveland Artists before 1900,[2] and later a member of the New Haven Paint and Clay Club.[3] She exhibited a portrait of her husband at the New York Watercolor Club's show in 1905.[4]
Palmer was staff artist and art editor of The Women's Journal. Her cartoons were detailed realistic engraved drawings of women and children, often addressing such issues as child labor, prohibition, and suffrage.[5][6][7][8]
