TheFifties:
to:
* TheGayNineties: "Siden, sammet, trasa, lump" takes place in 1899. It shows the time period mostly from a working class perspective, where even the children have to help out with making money for the family.
* TheEdwardianEra: "Arbetets döttrar" takes place in 1903 and 1904. Yet again, it shows the time period mostly from the perspective of the working class and their dreams of more rights and better lives.
* WorldWarI: "Drömmar av glas" takes place in 1917. Sweden is mostly spared from the horrors of the war, but food is very scarce in the cities, and Rebecka's only uncle has been conscripted into the defence.
* TheRoaringTwenties: "Nya tider" takes place in 1920 and 1921. A brand new fashion has started to emerge (Gretas and Rebecka even cut their hair short!), and now the first election, where women have the right vote, is coming up in the fall. Jazz is the new popular music for young people.
* TheGreatDepression: "Det fjärde rummet" takes place in 1931. Anna has to suffer greatly from the aftermath of the depression, as girls now have a hard time finding jobs. And yet, she has to be the bread-winner of her family.

TheFifties:* TheFifties: "Stränga gränser" takes place in 1956. Rock'n'roll, television, jeans and a lot of other things are new for the teenagers of this generation. We also get references to the Hollywood stars of the time and the CivilRightsMovement.
* TheSixties: "Revolternas år" takes place in 1968. TheVietnamWar, {{Hippies}} and a new psychodelic fashion all appear in this book. We also get references to the big building project in Sweden, where many old houses were demolished to big new "modern" ones.
* The70s: "Fyra systrar" takes place in 1975. Nina has to live in a "collective", which many people chose to do in Sweden during this decade. There are plenty of references to popular artists and other trends of the time.
* The80s: This decade only gets a few brief references towards the end of "Fyra systrar". Saga is now ashamed of the colorful fashion of that time. But she also talks about ''Series/Dallas'' being the hugest thing on TV and prime minister Olof Palme being murdered.
* The90s: The last few chapters of "Fyra systrar" takes place in 1999, and there is a huge anticipation for the new millennium. TheInternet has arrived, so have the cellular phones. We also get some references to things like SpiceGirls.
