Life
Monsen has a Magister's degree in Philosophy (1969) and was one of the founders of the Norwegian new feminist movement in 1970. Her early work was on the logician Quine and she later studied feminist philosophy. She has become the most visible proponent of Personalism in Norway, with Det elskende menneske (The loving human being, 1987) as her most central work.
Monsen grew up in a humanist family, but later converted to Christianity through philosophic thinking. Recently, Monsen has been a strong opponent of the introduction of same-sex marriage in Norway and lectures in evangelical churches.
She was appointed a government scholar in 2004. In 2009, she was awarded the Fritt Ord Award.
She was married to legal scholar Helge Johan Thue until he died in 2010.
