Her London-born Anglo-Swedish mother was a translator, author and pedagogue.  Her musical eldest sister, Thekla Milow (born 1848, London), was the wife of Baron Sten Miles Sture (1806\u20131875), the last of his historic dynastic line.Milow was originally devoted to education, founding a girls’ school in Sk\u00f6vde 1887\u20131902 with the patronage of the wealthy philanthropist Consul Oscar Ekman\u00a0[sv] (1812\u20131907).  He also urged her to pursue further studies in England and Germany.  Already an English Language teacher, she was first able to graduate in History at London, in 1894, then in both language and literature from the George J. Burch School of English at Oxford, in 1898.Between 1902 and 1911, Ekman sponsored Milow to take further prolonged periods of study leave.  She first returned to England, where she concentrated on childcare and the social problems of industrial towns and cities.  She then continued to America, where she pursued her study of philanthropic and social work, visiting various social clubs and working class districts in a number of states.  She was particularly fascinated by two boys\u2019 clubs, one founded by a wealthy business man named Cornelius Loder in New York, and another set up by a Scot named Thomas Chew, at the industrial town of Fall River, an hour\u2019s journey from Boston.Upon return to Sweden, Milow dedicated her life to social work, founding and directing the pioneering Kungsholmens Youth Club in Stockholm from 1904 to 1922.  She was also a founder of the Swedish People’s Association in 1906, a political propaganda organisation.  She was also a member of the board of the Central Committee and a member of the working committee of an organisation called Svensk Folkviljan, or the Swedish People\u2019s Will, avidly campaigning for women\u2019s rights and suffrage.  Between 1922 and 1930, she held the post of editor for Sweden\u2019s civic-spirited Women\u2019s Organisation journal and published papers on defence, children and youth.On several occasions, Milow was invited to Stronvar House, the baronial pile of James Carnegie on the shore of Loch Voil in the Braes O\u2019Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland.  It was on one of these visits that Milow first met General Robert Baden-Powell, an introduction which would lead to her founding Sweden\u2019s first Boy Scout troop, one of the first in the world.In 1916, King Gustav VI awarded Milow the Illis quorum in recognition of her contribution to Swedish culture and social work.  In 1928, L. Wahlstr\u00f6m published a study of her work with disadvantaged boys, entitled Cecilia Milow och hennes Kungsholmspojkar [‘Cecilia Milow and her Kungsholm Boys’].Cecilia Milow died on 7 May 1946 in Stockholm,[1][2] and is buried with her mother at Saint Elin cemetery in Sk\u00f6vde.[3]Milow was a cousin of British author and charity-founder David Charles Manners.References[edit]^ Hildebrand, Ingegerd. “E Cecilia Milow”.
