Eeva Elisabeth Joenpelto (17 June 1921, Sammatti, Finland – 28 January 2004, Lohja, Finland), married name after 1945 Hellemann, was an award-winning Finnish novelist. Her writing is especially remembered for the Lohja tetralogy which depicted strong women. Described as a "productive novelist of monomaniacal intensity", she occasionally wrote under the pseudonyms of Eeva Helle and Eeva Autere. Joenpelto was President of PEN Finland in 1964-67 and worked as an art professor from 1980-85. She was married (until 1975) to Jarl Hellemann, the CEO of Tammi.
