Cecilie Enger talks about her book The White Map. It is a historical novel about the 'manwomen' Bertha Torgersen and Hanna Brummenæs, who lived on Karmøy in the late 1800s. Dressed in men's coats and hats, they carved their way into male-dominated positions, kept their love for each other hidden, and undertook an unusual class journey. As a result of their life choices, they also experienced hardship.
Anne Cathrine Straume, NRK: The White Map is a novel about daring to choose your own path. It tells the story of two women who led the way in making the map more colorful.
