She participated in actions on August 19, 1941, when, together with the resistance man Aksel Engelsgaard, tried to blow up the restaurant "Löwenbräu" ("Humla") in Universitetsgata 26 in Oslo - at that time a German officer table, anyway, the bomb was discovered before it went off.[1] In 1948, she started her own law practice.[2]
