Gunner Ulrika Eleonora Stålhammar was born in 1683 and died 1744. At the age of 25 she dressed up as a man and joined the army in Kalmar. Ulrika married a woman, Maria Lönman, and they lived together for several years. This was “an abomination to the Lord”, a crime against the Commandments and against secular law. Ulrika Eleonora had always been more interested in masculine activities, such as shooting and riding, than in more womanly occupations. She had never wanted a man but had fallen in love with Maria. Perhaps, quite simply, she was homosexual. Becoming a man could also have been her way of controlling her own life, instead of being married off and put under a husband’s authority, like her sisters. They really got married and Ulrika Eleonora called her William Ekstedt, some time after the marriage she told her wife that she wasn’t a man, but they continued to live together

These are some of the banners we had to get rid of when we moved from the womens house at Snickarbacken to Blekingegatan in Stockholm, Sweden.
