I picked C because: - "to win" is wrong, so I eliminate A and D. - "writer that won" is wrong too because "that" cannot refer to a person, so I eliminate B and E.
i thought that 'the first woman' was parallel to "the first Swedish".
also, I thought that 'to+verb' modifies the main verb in the preceding clause; in this case, "to win" modifies "became" - doesn't make much sense to me =(
also, 'verb-ing" right behind a noun usually modifies that noun; so C seems more approipate to me .
