Aadel Lampe

Aadel Lampe (born 10 May 1857 in Stranda, died 1944) was a Norwegian women's rights leader, teacher for deaf children, and liberal politician in the late 19th and early 20th century. She was one of the early leaders of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights, and served as its President from 1922 to 1926. She joined the board of the organization in the 1890s and served as Vice President during the terms 1899–1903, 1912–1917, and 1919 and 1921, when Fredrikke Marie Qvam and Randi Blehr were Presidents.[1] Lampe was originally a member of the Liberal Party, but later joined the conservative-liberal Free-minded Liberal Party, where she was a board member of the party's women's association.[2] She was a co-signatory of a letter to the government, with Randi Blehr and Cecilie Thoresen Krog, which called for women being admitted to the civil service.[3]
