Lovisa Christina Charlotta "Lotten" Edholm or af Edholm, née von Heijne (18 April 1839 - 12 July 1930) [1] was a Swedish composer and a pioneer within the Swedish Red Cross.
She was born to the nobleman Georg Fredrik von Heijne-Lillienberg and Juliana Charlotta Silfverstolpe, [2] and married Edvard Edholm (1831-1913), physician to the king, in 1867. She served as hovfröken ( maid of honour) to the queen dowager Josephine in 1865–67.
Lotten Edholm initiated the participation of women in Sweden in the Swedish Red Cross [3] and served as chair of the women's section of the Swedish Red Cross in 1865–1906. She also started a cooking school in Stockholm. Lotten Edholm was also active as a composer and composed piano music for private use in high society life.
In 1919, she published her memoirs, Från barndom till ålderdom (From Childhood to Old Age).
