Karen Ankersted
Karen Marie Ankersted Hansen (1859–1921) was a Danish teacher and a pioneering female politician. She was among the first four women to be elected to the Municipal Council of Frederiksberg in 1909 as well as one of the first four to be elected to the Folketing (the Danish national parliament) in 1918. Biography Born on 18 July 1859 in Ishøj, Karen Marie Ankersted Hansen was the daughter of the farmer Niels Hansen (died 1885) and Marie Nielsen (c.1822–1869). She was brought up in Copenhagen by a foster mother, Hanne Kopp, who was a teacher. After attending Testrup Folk High School, she trained to be a private teacher at N. Zahle's School, receiving her diploma in 1881. From 1883 to 1888, she taught at Borgerdyd School in Christianshavn, gradually gaining admission to the Copenhagen Municipality's schools authority. As a result, she taught at Gasværksvejen School and Haderslevgade School until 1916 when declining health forced her to leave. Although rather conservative in he ...

Rigsdag
Rigsdagen () was the name of the national legislature of Denmark from 1849 to 1953. ''Rigsdagen'' was Denmark's first parliament, and it was incorporated in the Constitution of 1849. It was a bicameral legislature, consisting of two houses, the ''Folketing'' and the '' Landsting''. The distinction between the two houses was not always clear, as they had equal power. In 1953, a new constitution was approved by referendum and adopted, with the result that ''Rigsdagen'' and the ''Landsting'' were eliminated in favor of a unicameral legislature under the name of the ''Folketing''. ''Rigsdagen'', like today's ''Folketing'', was located in Christiansborg Palace in the centre of Copenhagen. Membership in ''Rigsdagen'' was limited to certain sectors of society – women were not allowed to join, and neither were about a quarter of all men over 30, mostly due to their condition as servants or welfare recipients. The name is a cognate of the names of several legislatures in other Ge ...

19th-century Danish Educators
The 19th (nineteenth) century began on 1 January 1801 ( MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 ( MCM). The 19th century was the ninth century of the 2nd millennium. The 19th century was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanding beyond its British homeland for the first time during this century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule. It was also marked by the collapse of the lar ...

Women Members Of The Folketing
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Thro ...
