Vilborg Dagbjartsdóttir
This is an Icelandic name. The last name is a patronymic, not a family name; this person is properly referred to by the given name Vilborg.
Vilborg Dagbjartsdóttir (born 18 July 1930) is an Icelandic poet. She published her first book of poetry in 1960 and became one of few women in Iceland to write modernist poetry. Her third book of poems, Kyndilmessa (1971; Candlemass), has been described as a "breakthrough".[1] Innovative features in her works include the use of colloquial language and images of daily life.[2] Like Jón úr Vör she combined lyrical realism with romantic imagery.[3] Active in the feminist movement, Vilborg's works are concerned with the status of women in society as well as social inequality in general.[4] Vilborg has published a number of books for children, including non-fiction works and translations.[5]
