[edit] Honorary Doctor in Medicine?

How the heck did she become a Honorary Doctor in Medicine? No kind of medical education is mentioned, and the only source is an anarcho-syndicalist trade union federation in Sweden. -- Heptor _talk 23:54, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I've now found a number of more sources, but as you have questioned their validity I'd thought I should be on the safe side. I have contacted the University of Uppsala (which, according to some sources, bestowed the honor). Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 08:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

The whole idea of a honorary doctorate is to celebrate a person who has contributed to a field of kowledge without having the formal qualifications needed for a regular akademic position. -- Linkomfod 16:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

As the Ottar paper is mentioned, one should perhaps also mentioned that she is "honored" by getting her name attached to an extremist feminist group in Norway. -- Linkomfod 16:36, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
