Anni Swan was born in the cultural fennoman Swan-family. She and her 8 sisters were called the nine black swans – these girls were independent and talented and gained professions. Anni Swan did the matriculation examination and studied in the university for a while. She also studied in the teacher’s seminar in Jyväskylä. After a long consideration she married the poet Otto Manninen. Swan worked as a teacher and in the side of that she wrote literature for girls – she was the first canonical and respected woman who wrote for youth. She also edited many children’s magazines.
