Sally Alina Ingeborg Salminen (later Salminen-Dührkopf) was an internationally renowned author from the Åland Islands, Finland.

Born in Vårdö, Åland, Sally Salminen was the eighth child of twelve.

Quotes by Sally Salminen (?)

“Katri", hän sanoi kerran, "jospa meillä olisi rahaa kuten rikkailla ostaa perhehauta. Minusta olisi paljon parempi maata haudassa, jos tietäisin, että sinäkin tulet sinne."
"Se merkitsee niin vähän, missä me makaamme", sanoi Katrina lempeästi. "Jos on niin, että saamme elää toisessa maailmassa, löydämme kyllä toisemme joka tapauksessa."
"Niin, sen tiedän, että jos siellä on meri ja laivoja, niin minä kyllä seilaan ja seilaan, kunnes löydän sinut", lupasi Johan.
"Ja minä tähystän."
"Kunnes laiva näkyy."
"Niin.”
― Sally Salminen, Katrina
