  • Hedvig Sirenia or Hedvig Sirenius, sometimes known as Hedvig Schultzen, (1734 - 1795) was a Swedish poet and translator during the Swedish Age of Liberty, who wrote under the name "Sirenia". She was a member of the Kungliga Vetenskaps- och Vitterhetssamhället i Göteborg (The Royal Society of Science and Literature in Gothenburg). She was the daughter of Sigfrid Sirenius who was an influential civil servant in Gothenburg. She married the physician Matthias Gottlieb Schultz (or Schultzen) (1727-1800), with whom she had a son. Her spouse had been forced to retire in 1771 when he became blind. She was regularly published in the press in Gothenburg from 1760 onward and was compared to Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht and called "The Sappho of Gothenburg" and "Our Sirén" (in reference to her name). In 1759, she was inducted into Witterhets Klubben (The Erudite Literary Society), and in 1778 she was elected a member of the successor of that society, The Royal Society of Science and Literature in Gothenburg. There were a few other female members, but Sirenia was the only one whose writings were published by the society: her poem "Herdedigt" (a translation of a French poem) was selected for publication in the society's annals of 1780, and her translation of the Danish tragedy Ejnar Tambaskjelfwer (about the Norwegian 11th-century nobleman Einar Thambarskelfir) was published in the 1782 edition. She also translated other foreign plays. (en)
  • Hedvig Sirenia, egentligen Sirenius; som gift Schulzen eller Schultz, född 1734, död 1795, var en svensk författare, poet och översättare. Hon var ledamot i Kungliga Vetenskaps- och Vitterhetssamhället i Göteborg. Hedvig Sirenia var dotter till stadssekreteraren i Göteborg, Sigfrid Sirenius, och gift med (1727-1800), med vilken hon fick sonen (1770-1848). Hennes make ändrade år 1771 namn till Schulzen, men hon är känd under sitt namn som ogift, vilket var det namn som hon använde i sitt yrkesliv. Hennes make var Göteborgs stadsläkare 1764-1771, men tvingades avsluta sin praktik då han 1771 blev blind. Sirenia publicerades regelbundet i pressen i Göteborg och var en känd författare. Hennes verk trycktes i bland annat tidningen Hwad Nytt? Hwad Nytt?, och från 1760 och framåt även i Götheborgske Spionen och . Till skillnad från vad som var vanligt för andra så kallade publicerade hon sig under eget namn snarare än anonymt, men ofta endast under sitt efternamn Sirenia. I göteborgspressen kallades hon "Den göteborgska Sappho", "Vår hurtiga Sappho" och "Vår ljufliga sirén". Hon jämfördes i Göteborg med Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht. Hedvig Sirenia var till en början ledamot i Witterhets Klubben, som 1759 blev till Kungliga Vetenskaps- och Vitterhetssamhället i Göteborg, där hon 1776 också blev medlem. Detta trots att sällskapets handlingar föreskrev att dess medlemmar enbart skulle bestå av vittra män. Hon var den enda kvinna som publicerade sig i Samhällets Handlingar, och beskrivs som en av dess mest aktiva medlemmar. (sv)
