Karen Grønn-Hagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karen Grønn-Hagen (born November 27, 1903 in Tynset , † December 19, 1982 ) was a Norwegian politician of the Senterpartiet (Sp). In 1963 she was the Minister for Family and Consumption in her country.

Life

Grønn-Hagen worked in various professions. Between 1923 and 1924 she worked several times as a substitute teacher and also worked as a domestic help and milkmaid . From 1929 she finally worked as a farmer. Between 1951 and 1960 she was a member of the local parliament of Tynset, where she was the deputy mayor of the municipality from 1959. From 1953 to 1959 she was a member of the board of directors of the Senterpartiet.

Grønn-Hagen ran for the province of Hedmark in the Norwegian parliamentary elections in 1954 , but she did not receive a direct mandate, but became a so-called Vararepresentantin . After her party colleague Einar Frogner died in July 1955, she took over his mandate for the rest of the legislative period until 1957. This made her the first woman to sit for the Senterpartiet in Storting . In the 1961 election, she entered parliament directly, where she was again a member until 1965. On August 28, 1963, she was appointed Minister for Family and Consumer Affairs in the Lyng Government. She held the office for just under a month until September 25, 1963, as the government no longer existed.

In 2018 a street in Tynset was named after her.
