Schoolteacher and headmistress
|
Magdalene Lauridsen (25 April 1873, Holsted—5 July 1957, Copenhagen) was a Danish schoolteacher and headmistress. In 1895, she founded Sorø Husholdningsskole, Denmark's first home economics school, followed in 1902 by Ankerhus Seminarium, the country's first teacher training college to specialize in home economics and housekeeping. Lauridsen also fought for rights for women, including the right to vote, and stressed the importance of fruit and vegetable farming for rural households. Active in organizational work, in 1906 she founded and chaired Foreningen af Husholdningslærerinder og -lærere (FHL), an association for home economics teachers, and in 1909 brought together delegates from the Nordic countries to the first collaborative meeting on household interests. In 1919, she converted Ankerhus Seminarium into an independent institution but continued to run the college until her retirement in 1943.
