In 1884, Strindberg's first collection of short stories was published in Sweden (Giftas [Getting Married]). The book contained a preface in which Strindberg voiced support for women's rights, and also 12 stories whose characters were involved in various sorts of marriages, including some in which the women were presented as being equal to men. Soon after, Strindberg was prosecuted for "blasphemy against God or mockery of God's word or sacrament"--a charge of which he was later acquitted.
