She was rector of Norske Kvinners Nasjonalråds sosialskole 1946–1953 and President of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights 1946–52. She served as a member of the city council of Oslo for the Liberal Party 1952–1956. She was the runner-up for the party's ballot in the 1949 parliamentary election, and later a minor ballot candidate in 1953 and 1957.
