Johanna participated at the amateur theatre of the royal court, encouraged by Queen Eleanora. In the winter of 1683–84, a group of female courtiers performed the Swedish premiere of Iphigénie by Racine at court. In the play, Johanna acted the part of Iphigenie, Amalia von Königsmarck as Achilles, Aurora von Königsmarck as Clitemnestre, Augusta Wrangel as Agamemnon, and Ebba Maria De la Gardie as Eriphile.[1] This is regarded as a significant event, the first play performed by an all–female cast in Sweden, as an introduction of French Classicism in Sweden.[2]
She wrote the French poem Portrait d’Ismène for Ulrika Eleonora, and the German-language psalm Weich, Falsche Welt. She encouraged poets and writers; she is remembered as benefactor and teacher of the poet and politician Samuel Triewald.
In 1691, Johanna married her cousin, Count Erik Gustaf Stenbock. They lived in England until 1697, where she became popular at the English court of Queen Mary.
