description: "Birgit Bjørnvig née Hornum (1936–2015) was a Danish politician and educator. Brought up in a working-class family in Copenhagen, she trained as a teacher and spent a short period as head of a primary school. In 1970, she married the writer Thorkild Bjørnvig and moved with him to the island of Samsø where she became politically involved. She first represented the Danish Social Liberal Party from 1983, but then joined the People's Movement against the EU and became a member of the European Parliament for the Rainbow Group, serving two terms until 1994."
