In 1993, 100 years have passed since the first woman graduated in medicine from the University of Oslo. Her name was Marie Spångberg. A long-lasting "battle" had previously taken place to allow women to enter the University and to study medicine in particular. The first proposal to the Storting (the Norwegian national assembly) on this matter was made by Mr. L. Smitt, who strongly argued for the admittance of women to medical studies at the University. The Storting agreed, but the Medical Faculty protested violently in a note which was regarded as one of the most reactionary statements of the time on the nature of women. However, on 23 June 1884, an Act allowing women to graduate in all University studies was finally passed. In spite of the earlier resistance from the Medical Faculty, the female students did not experience any discrimination of women during their studies. They did meet difficulties, however, after their graduation, both in continuing their education and in obtaining a position.
