Eveline Hasler (born 22 March 1933) is a Swiss writer. Born in Glarus, she studied Psychology and History at the University of Fribourg and worked as a teacher in St. Gallen. She has written novels (for adults) and children's books which have been translated into many languages.[1] Her literary estate is archived in the Swiss Literary Archives in Bern. Eveline Hasler lives in Ticino.
One of her most-read works is the novel Anna Goeldin – The Last Witch. It fictionalizes one of the last witchcraft trials in Europe and was published in 1982, at the bicentennial of the execution of Anna Göldi.
Her historical stories and novels "bring long-forgotten individuals and their experiences back to life, redressing to some extent the balance of history which has seen them marginalized or discounted."[2] In many of her works, she reminds readers that "stability, one of the valued preserves of modern Swiss society, is a relatively recent privilege."[3]
Flying with Wings of Wax (1991) presents the life of Emily Kempin (1853-1901), the first German-speaking female law graduate; she was refused permission to practice law in her home country of Switzerland, "sought her fortune in New York, but ultimately failed in her struggle against convention."[4]
