Siw "Siwan" Gunnel Margareta Malmkvist (born 31 December 1936 in Landskrona, Skåne County, Sweden) is a Swedish singer who is popular in Scandinavia and Germany.^[1] She had a number one hit in West Germany in 1964 with Liebeskummer lohnt sich nicht (English: Lovesickness is Not Worthwhile) and on 18 July 1964, a full decade before ABBA, she historically had also become the first Swede to have a hit on the US Billboard chart with "Sole Sole Sole", a duet with Italian singer Umberto Marcato.

Versatility[link]

Malmkvist is a performer with great versatility in the Swedish entertainment business as she, alongside her career in pop/schlager music, has performed in stage plays, musicals and in films. She played Pippi Longstocking in the popular children musical production of Astrid Lindgren's Pippi Longstocking in 1980, appeared in the musical version of Some Like It Hot (see Sugar) and she played the part of Luisa in the original Swedish - and European - production of Maury Yeston's musical Nine in 1983. In 2002 she appeared as the Mother in Hasse Alfredson's stage play Lille Ronny at Maximteatern. With actor Thorsten Flinck she made a popular Swedish cover of Nick Cave/Kylie Minogue's 1995 hit "Where the Wild Roses Grow".

In 2008/2009, she played the part of Fräulein Schneider in the musical Cabaret at Stockholms Stadsteater directed by Colin Nutley.

Career[link]

Having had some 40 hits on Swedish radio chart Svensktoppen and 20 on the German singles chart, she has altogether recorded about 600 songs (and has made recordings in ten different languages: Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch, German, English, French, Italian and Spanish) throughout the past five decades, which makes her one of the most productive and successful Swedish female singers.

Malmkvist has been a contestant in the Swedish Melodifestivalen several times, most recently in 2004 together with Towa Carson and Ann-Louise Hanson, singing the song "C'est la vie", which finished 10th. She represented Sweden at the international Eurovision Song Contest 1960 in London with "Alla andra får varann", a song originally performed by Östen Warnerbring and Inger Berggren respectively in the Swedish pre-selections. In turn, the following year Malmkvist, who famously forgot the lyrics to the song during her performance, and Gunnar Wiklund both won Melodifestivalen with the song "April, april", but then Sveriges Radio selected Barbro "Lill-Babs" Svensson as the Swedish representative at the international Contest, held in Cannes. In 1969 Malmkvist again returned to Eurovision, but then performing the West German entry "Primaballerina" at Madrid, incidentally finishing shared 9th with the Swedish entry "Judy, min vän", sung by Tommy Körberg.

Kristina Schröder (born Köhler, 3 August 1977) is a German politician. She is currently serving as the Federal Minister of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (since 30 November 2009). She has served as a Member of Parliament since 2002.

Life and work[link]

Schröder was born in Wiesbaden, Hesse. After finishing her abitur in 1997, she studied sociology, history, philosophy, and political science at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz. She earned her Diplom in 2002, and her Ph.D. in 2009. Her doctoral thesis was Gerechtigkeit als Gleichheit? Eine empirische Analyse der objektiven und subjektiven Responsivität von Bundestagsabgeordneten, supervised by Jürgen W. Falter. Following her appointment as government minister, her doctoral research came under close scrutiny for its heavy reliance on research assistance by her party.^[1] In 2011 it was reported that an assistant of Falter had been paid by Schröder for working on the statistical data on which the thesis was based. The university's president stated there was no evidence for any wrongdoing, and that legwork undertaken by aides was scientifically legitimate and accepted practise.^[2]

She has one child, born in June 2011, during her time in office.^[3] She is a member of the Independent Evangelical-Lutheran Church.^[4]

Schröder joined the Junge Union in 1991 and has been a member of the Bundestag since 2002, affiliated with the CDU.^[5] On November 30, 2009, she was appointed Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth in the cabinet of Angela Merkel.^[6]

Schröder currently lives in Berlin with her husband Ole Schröder, a fellow member of the Bundestag.^[7] Shortly after her appointment, the two announced that they were planning to get married in February 2010^[8] and did so on February 12.^[9]

In January 2011, it was announced that Schröder was pregnant with her first child, which was born in June 2011, and that she would try not to take time off during the pregnancy.^[10]
