Debut role and first career onscreen nudity for Essy Persson. This became her most notable role.
The break-through popularity of this film helped initiate a wave of sexploitation films into mainstream American theaters in the late 1960s,
Inspired Andy Warhol to write and direct his feature-length experimental film version I, a Man (1967).
Directed by Mac Ahlberg as his feature film debut, and written by Peer Guldbrandsen, the movie was based upon the best-selling 1961 novel Jeg - en kvinde by Agnethe Thomsen written under her pseudonym Siv Holm.
The American distribution rights were purchased by Radley Metzger who edited the movie to remove the flashbacks, added English titles and placed it into mainstream movie theaters. Metzger said it was "probably the first feminist erotic film released in the '60s and it pushed a button with every woman in America". By earning more than 4 million dollars in the United States, Metzger credited I, a Woman as the major catalyst for his subsequent success in making pornographic films.
