Øyvor Styren Hansson (born March 3, 1893 in Kristiania as Øyvor Styren , † September 17, 1975 ibid) was a Norwegian politician of the fascist party Nasjonal Samling (NS).

Life

Youth and family

Hansson came from a middle class family . She attended middle school and later a business school . During a stay in the USA she learned English shorthand . In 1915 she married Halvor Hansson, with whom she had five children. The two lived separately, and her husband later distanced himself from Øyvor Hansson's statements. The marriage ended in divorce in 1949. She then continued to receive small amounts from him as maintenance payments. She died in 1975 at the age of 82.

Political career

Hansson became a member of the party when the Nasjonal Samling was founded in 1933, where she belonged to Vidkun Quisling's close circle. She helped found the women's organization Nasjonal Samlings Kvinneorganisasjon (NSK), of which she became chairman in 1935. In 1936 she was a candidate for election to the Norwegian Parliament, the Storting .

In 1941 she was replaced by Olga Bjoner at the head of the NSK. She then tried to become head of the NSK's propaganda department in 1942, but she did not succeed. Instead, she was appointed office manager at the Ministry of Social Affairs by Vidkun Quisling. She traveled around Norway and interrogated government officials. Some of the officers were dismissed from their duties as a result of the interrogation.

Condemnation

After the end of the Second World War , she was sentenced to three years and one month imprisonment for her membership in the Nasjonal Samling and her work with the NSK and the Ministry of Social Affairs. In addition, her voting rights were withdrawn. After serving her sentence, Hansson was no longer politically active, lived withdrawn and did not appear in public anymore.

Political positions

Hansson believed that women should have more influence in politics and society. In Vidkun Quisling, the fascist leader of the Nasjonal Samling, she saw the only Norwegian who could give women the position they deserved. Hansson contradicted the demands for equal marriages and the legalization of abortions , as they were based on communist ideology and thus belonged to a " Jewish perversion".

In addition to Quisling, she also admired Adolf Hitler , who in her eyes was the savior of Germany . Hansson visited German women's organizations and based on these experiences wrote reports on the role of the “new German woman”.
