Daughter of the Sommelier Per Björkegren and Anna Söderberg.
She was a student at Dramatens elevskola in 1873, and active at Swedish Theatre (Stockholm) in 1875-1879 and the Royal Swedish Opera in 1879-1887. She was described as dignified and classic and well suited for parts of great dignity. In 1909, the couple used their villa as a combined art gallery, and their home became a center of artists: many young artists were also allowed to live there free of costs to develop their talent.
