Bergfrid Fjose
Bergfrid Fjose (born March 31, 1915 in Ullensvang as Bergfrid Mannsåker , † May 13, 2004 in Voss ) was a Norwegian politician of the Christian Democratic Kristelig Folkeparti (KrF). From 1972 to 1973 she was the social minister of her country.
Life
Fjose was the daughter of the pastor and politician Jon Mannsåker , who represented the liberal party Venstre in the Norwegian parliament Storting from 1928 to 1933 . She, too, was involved in her father's party in her youth. In 1938 Fjose graduated from a teachers' college. She then worked at the Valdres adult education center until 1943 before she had to flee to Sweden . The reason for the escape was that her husband, Pastor Olav Fjose, had become involved in the Milorg resistance organization in Oslo . After her return to Norway in 1945, Fjose joined Kristelig Folkeparti and she worked again until 1967 as a teacher at schools in Kvam , Voss and Årdal .
During this time she was also a member of various local parliaments. Between 1951 and 1952 she sat in the parliament of the municipality of Kvam, between 1959 and 1963 in that of Årdal and between 1967 and 1971 in that of Fana . From 1961 to 1965 she was also the head of the Norwegian Housewives Association in the province of Sogn og Fjordane .
Fjose represented the province of Hordaland in Storting from 1969 to 1977 and was therefore the first woman to represent the KrF there. On October 18, 1972, she was appointed Minister of Social Affairs in the Korvald government. She held the office until October 16, 1973. During her tenure, she enforced a ban on tobacco and alcohol advertising. She then returned to Storting, where she then headed the administrative committee until 1977. From 1976 to 1978 she headed the women's organization of the KrF.
