Ida Cecilie Thoresen Krog (née Thoresen, 7 March 1858 – 13 November 1911) was a Norwegian feminist pioneer, and the first female student in Norway.[1] She became famous when she was allowed to submit to examen artium in 1882, after an Act amendment had taken place.[1]
Personal life
She was born in Eidsvoll, as the daughter of physician and farmer Nils Windfeldt Thoresen and Marie Johanne Benneche. She grew up at Eidsvoll, together with her sister and three brothers. As a young girl she enjoyed skiing, including ski jumping. She married lawyer Fredrik Arentz Krog in 1887, and was the mother of journalist and playwright Helge Krog. She was the sister-in-law of teacher, politician and fellow feminist Gina Krog. She died in Kristiania in 1911, after having suffered from infective endocarditis for several years.[2]
Career
Cecilie attended private schools and graduated from Nissens Pikeskole in 1879. She wanted to achieve the examen artium, but encountered problems from the authorities. A letter from her father to the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Church Affairs was met with a refusal. She contacted the Minister of Church, who asked the University for a statement. When the statement from the University was negative, she contacted member of the Parliament of Norway Hagbard Emanuel Berner, who proposed a private Act amendment, which passed in 1882.[2] She passed the examen artium in 1882, as the first Norwegian woman.[2] She enrolled at the University, and eventually became a student of science at the University of Oslo and later at the University of Copenhagen.[1] When she got married in 1887 and gave birth to three children the next three years, she also aborted her university studies.[2]
She was a board member of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights from its foundation in 1884.[1] She was a board member of the humanitarian organization Norske Kvinners Sanitetsforening from its foundation in 1896.[2][3] She was a co-founder of Norske Kvinners Nasjonalråd in 1904.[2]
There is controversey along the lines of letting females enter in such events.
