Today Anne Vang, a young political science student and a citizen representative in the Copenhagen City Council for The Social Democrats (A), received the Nina Bang prize for her political influence. The Nina Bang prize was conceived by former Social Democrat and Minister of Cultural Affairs, Jytte Hilden. And several present and former Social Democrat women were present at the event. Among them Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard, vice president of the parliamentary group of the party, Mette Frederiksen, and spokes person in the Danish parliament for education, Christine Antorini. The two latter former Nina Bang prize honoraries.The prize was named after the first woman to be elected to public office in the Copenhagen city hall in 1913, and the world's first appointed minister in The Social Democrat government under Thorvald Stauning in 1924. The event took place at the KVINFO centre, a research centre about women's history, litterature, and gender equality. At least prizes will make these women visible. To men who find it difficult to see them for appointments.
