Portrait of Kristine Bonnevie, Norway´s first female professor and the first female member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. My restoration and colorization ofGustav Borgen´s (ab.) 1895 image in the Norsk Folkemuseum archive.
"Kristine Elisabeth Heuch Bonnevie (8 October 1872 – 30 August 1948) was a Norwegian biologist, Norway's first female professor, women's rights activist and politician for the Free-minded Liberal Party. Her fields of research were cytology, genetics and embryology. She was among the first women to be elected to political positions in Norway." --
"Bonnevie took her examen artium in 1892, began studying zoology in 1892, later switching to biology. She completed her doctoral dissertation, "Undersøgelser over kimcellerne hos Enteroxenos østergreni" (studies on the germ cells of Enteroxenos østergreni) in 1906. She also studied under Arnold Lang in Zürich from 1898 to 1899, under Theodor Boveri in Würzburg from 1900 to 1901, and under Edmund Beecher Wilson at Columbia University in New York from 1906 to 1907. She succeeded Johan Hjort as leader of the Zootomic laboratory in 1900. She was a professor at Royal Frederick University from 1912 to 1937, and founded the Institute of Inheritance Research in 1916.""In 1911, Bonnevie became the first female member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. Later, she founded the Norwegian Association for Female Academics, leading it from 1922 to 1925. She established a study home for young girls in 1916 and a students' house in 1923.
