description Based on the letters of former students published in the commemorative books – or Jubileet – of the University of Oslo, this article explores the experience of the first generations of female students in Norway. Although relatively unexploited in Norwegian historiography, this material constitutes an interesting source. Not only does it allow historians to measure the feminisation of the student population in the first half of the 20th century, it also offers the means to reflect on the construction and evolution of a feminine ‘public-self’. This article questions the way these first female students used their academic education to redefine gender-related roles, along with their place within the nation-building process that characterized Norway at the turn of the 20th century.
