In 1899, she married Erik Kule Palmstierna (1877-1959), with whom she had several children, one of them Carl-Fredrik Palmstierna.[2][3] She was active in the National Association for Women's Suffrage in Karlskrona and was in the board of the Karlskronia association that gathered signatures for a 1905 petition for women's suffrage. She was also one of the signatories on this petition.[4] In 1917, she was a board member on a national level for the National Association for Women's Suffrage, together with Signe Bergman, Karolina Widerström, Gulli Petrini and Ester Brisman.[5]
