Biografie

Lilja Stefansson was born in Vestfold, Manitoba in 1921. After the collapse of her first marriage, she moved to Saskatchewan with her two children. A second marriage to a farmer in the Rouleau district produced another child. After seventeen years, that union also ended unhappily. By happenstance, a close friend from church circles was in a similar situation. In 1971, they took a weekend trip to the States as friends. She and Evelyn Rogers came back as lovers. This was the beginning of a devoted relationship that lasted, as Lilja had hoped, until her death. The two women moved to Regina in 1975 and established a busy life, including participation in the city’s early lesbian and women’s community. Lilja was a prolific writer of short essays that dealt with both personal and public concerns. Lilja Stefansson died on June 16, 2013.
