About Kristine Bonnevie
Kristine Elisabet Heuch Bonnevie was a Norwegian biologist. She was the first woman to graduate with a science doctorate in Norway, Norway's first woman professor, a women's rights activist, and a 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 office in Norway. She suggested the epic voyage of her graduate student Thor Heyerdahl on the raft Kon-tiki, a voyage memorialized in the Kon-Tiki Museum, Oslo.
