Personal life

She was born in Christiania, a daughter of Peter Elias Bjørnson and Laura Marie Mathilde Riiser Larsen, and niece of Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. She was married first to painter Eyolf Soot, later to actor Harald Stormoen. She is the mother of Botten Soot and Guri Stormoen.[1]

Career

Bjørnson is particularly known as a pioneer of children's theatre in Norway. She founded her own children's theatre in 1920, the first Scandinavian theatre where children performed for children. The theatre opened with Margrethe Munthe's play Askepott, and continued with other stage adaptations of fairytales and children's books. Among her books are Dundor-Heikka from 1916, Våre barnesanger from 1926, and 30 år med barneteatret from 1950.[2][1]

gollark: `certbot` asks for a "webroot" to place files into, so I use that, and it works flawlessly.
gollark: So I made it so that if any domain is accessed via HTTP, and the request is for `.well-known/something`, it'll use a dedicated folder.
gollark: Basically, the ACME verification thing it uses looks for files under `.well-known`.
gollark: Not a config UI.
gollark: ```nginx server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; location /.well-known { default_type "text/plain"; root /srv/http/; } location = /ngstatus { stub_status; } location / { return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } }```
