Jacobine Camilla Collett (née Wergeland) (23 January 1813 – 6 March 1895) was a Norwegian writer, often referred to as the first Norwegian feminist.

Quotes by Camilla Collett (?)

“Jo, vi vil gaa. Vi vil gaa alligevel. Vi maa gaa. De Kvinder, som altid sidder i sine Kareter, keder sig tildøde. De Tider er forbi, da Kvinden var for Manden kun en Luksusgjenstand, halvt et kostbart Legetøi, halvt en Gudinde, der skulde tilbedes. De har selv stødt os ned paa Handlingens Skueplads, hvor vi maa arbeide, erhverve, stride og tumle os, med ett Ord: vi maa gaa.”
