Djetinjstvo je provela na obiteljskom imanju Mårbacka, koje je često opisivala u svojim djelima. Isprva je radila kao učiteljica, a onda se potpuno posvetila pisanju.

Roman Čudesno putovanje Nilsa Holgerssona kroz Švedsku (1906. – 1907.), izvorno napisan kao dječji udžbenik iz zemljopisa, stekao je svjetsku popularnost. Selma Lagerlöf bila je aktivna u društvenim i političkim pitanjima, zagovarala je ženska prava i bila prva žena članica Švedske akademije. Umrla je 16. ožujka 1940. godine, ostavivši neizbrisiv trag u svjetskoj književnosti. Pripovijetka Podmeče (šved.
