Nanna Fleischer

Nanna Fleischer (1862–1946) was a Norwegian pioneering teacher for disabled persons. She was born in Christiania, and the sister of Agnes Fleischer.[1] Together with her sister Agnes, who suffered from a hip and back disease, she established a school for disabled persons in 1892,[2] which was the basis for the institution Sophies Minde, established in 1897.[3] After her sister's death in 1909 she continued as the sole manager of Sophies Minde until her retirement in 1921.[4]
