Conradine Birgitte Dunker
Conradine Birgitte Dunker (née Hansteen) (25 August 1780 – 11 September 1866) was a Norwegian socialite and writer.
Born in Christiania, she held a "prominent spot in the social life of the capital city", according to one encyclopedia. She was also involved in the Dramatic Society. Her memoirs Gamle Dage : Erindringer og Tidsbilleder were published posthumously in 1871, and are seen as valuable sources on the 19th century cultural life.[1] It has been re-published several times, and Conradine Birgitte Dunker was also biographed in 1996.[2]
She was the mother of Bernhard Dunker[3] and Vilhelmine Ullmann.[4] Her younger brother was astronomer Christopher Hansteen; as such she was the aunt of feminist and painter Aasta Hansteen.[5]
