Ebba Boström (1844–1902) was a Swedish nurse and a philanthropist. She established a philanthropic centre in Uppsala which served the poor and children.

Early life and education

Boström was born in Östanå manor in Roslagen on 5 September 1844.[1][2] She hailed from a noble family on her mother’s side, and her father was a judge.[1] She had two sisters who married to the members of the noble von Bahr family.[1] She also had two brothers: Erik Gustaf Boström, prime minister of Sweden between 1891 and 1900 and Filip August Boström, governor of Södermanland between 1887 and 1908.[1]

She was trained at the Deaconess Institution of Milmay as a nurse in England.[3][4] During her studies she became part of the Evangelical revival movement in London and Manchester.[3]

Career

Boström returned to Sweden in 1882 following her graduation.[3] She became the director of a morality association named Magdalenahem (Swedish: Magdalene home) for prostitutes in Uppsala in 1883.[3] The same year she bought a property of her own to establish a philanthropic centre which would include a children’s home, a reform school for female servants, and a hospital.[3] The latter was opened in 1893.[3] She founded the Samariterhemmet foundation in Uppsala,[5] being a deaconess home in Sweden.[4] Later she handed over all of her philanthropic facilities to the foundation in 1899.[3]

Death

Boström died of kidney disease on 5 October 1902 and was buried at the Gamla cemetery in Uppsala.[1][2]
