Anna Munch née Dahl (4 August 1856 – 29 November 1932) was a Norwegian novelist and dramatist whose works address conflicts between the sexes, frequently based on her own experience of marriage and divorce. After a difficult relationship with her first husband Peter Munch, she met the much younger writer Sigurd Mathiesen whom she later married. Her early novel Kvinder. Et Stykke Udviklingshistorie. Kristiania-fortælling (Women. A Piece on Development History. Christiania Tale, 1892) is about women artists. Her principal work, the novel Glæde (Joy, 1904), presents a sensitive description of the utopian world of childhood.[1][2][3]
