“Salander earned about 160,000 kroner a year. […] In spite of this modest income, she had 90,000 kroner in her savings account. But she no longer had access to it.” (p 182)
This is a graph that shows the conversion rates of US Dollars to Swedish Krona, the currency which Larsson refers to with this quote. Salander's income would be close to 20 thousand dollars, the money in her savings would be slightly over 11 thousand.
This quote shows another example of Salander not being able to control her own life due to Bjurman being her legal guardian, one of many ways he attempts to control her throughout the novel.
Do you think, at this point, that Salander has proven to be able to control her life? How would you feel/what would you do if you couldn't access 11 thousand dollars?
