Ramm was born in Sogndal,[1] to Vally Marie Caroline Juell and parish priest Jens Ludvig Carl Olsen.[2] While being a student in Kristiania, she was a founding member of the women's discussion society , a forerunner to the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights.[3] Ramm served as the society's first secretary, while the other five co-founders were Cecilie Thoresen, Anna Bugge, , Marie Holst, and Betzy Børresen (later Kjelsberg).[4] Ramm graduated as cand.real. in 1890.[1] In 1893 she married writer Hans E. Kinck.[2] Shortly after their marriage, the couple travelled to Paris, where they stayed for about one year.[5]
Literary career[]
Ramm made her literary debut in 1896, with the novel Lommen ("The Pocket"), where a female student tells her story. Later books include Overtro. Skildringer fra ottiårene ("Superstition. Narratives from the Eighties") (1898), a psychological study. Further the satirical Valgaar ("Election Year") from 1909, and finally Fotfæste ("Footgrip") from 1918,[1][6] which has been described as her major work.[3]
