This typewriter was used by Alva Myrdal while working on her book The Game of Disarmament, published in 1976.
A typewriter is associated primarily with writing and solitary thinking. These were also aspects of Alva Myrdal's life, although much of her work took place with an audience and at the negotiating table. With a background in psychology, sociology, and pedagogy, Alva Myrdal focused in the 1930s on family policy and social policy. From the 1950s, her career became increasingly international. She had several assignments for the UN. In particular, she engaged in peace and disarmament issues. As the leading Swedish delegate to the Disarmament Conference in Geneva (1962-1973), she worked to diminish the arms race between the superpowers. In addition to her involvement in peace efforts, she also worked intensely for gender equality.
The typewriter was donated the to the Nobel Prize Museum by the Myrdal family in 2009. - Pristagare
