Meta Katrine Nedergaard Ditzel (6 October 1910 – 19 June 1999) was a Danish politician who focussed on the issue of peace.[1][2]
Meta Nedergaard was born on 6 October 1910 in Tarm, West Jutland. She graduated in philosophy from Aarhus University and also studied French and German in Paris and Vienna. She became a school teacher and by 1950 was a school head teacher.[1]
