I know very little about Sofia, actually. Only that she worked and could make a living in San Fransisco, by ironing shirts at a laundry shop. She travelled very far west, and returned to Finland. How could she afford the tickets? She must anyhow have been a very brave and adventurous woman, much like her sister Anna Kempe, who travelled in an other direction, to India, where she worked as a missionary. I have written a book about Anna Kempe and doing research about Anna Kempe and her siblings I thought that Sofia also had such an interesting life, she could very well be the main carachter or topic of another book.
