[jubilant] Social psychologist, researcher, feminist and politician Berit Ås turned 80 on Thursday 10 April. She tells Ny Tid that she is amazed at all the attention she has received lately. It is much more than she had expected and she is happy and appreciates it.
- I have gained so much from this society through education and the work I have had done, so I thought of delivering something back by arranging a lecture round called "Norway around with Berit Ås", she says.
Ås says that she will give a total of twelve lectures around Norway. The first four are so far planned. First out is a Matinee at Gamle Logen on Sunday 13 April, where she asks the question: "Women who have thought – do they exist?".
Book Fire from Asker. A portrait of Berit Ås by Ebba Haslund is published in connection with the 80th anniversary. Ny Tid wonders what Ås thinks about it.
- I've read the book. It's not about my whole life, but I think it's good. Ebba has been good, she says.
Both Berit Ås and Ebba Haslund will visit several bookstores in connection with the launch of the book. 24. April she will visit the bookstore Tronsmo, among other things.
The birthday started with Breakfast TV at NRK, followed by a visit to the Norli book café with her friend Ebba Haslund. The evening ended with the Norwegian Women's Union.
