About this person
Sophie Clausine Petersen (1885-1965) was a Danish geographer, geologist, educator, photographer and writer. While she contributed much to teaching methods at the gymnasium level, especially in connection with requirements for girls, she is remembered for writing about her travels to the four corners of the earth. Her publications were widely read, above all Danmarks gamle Tropekolonier which sold out after a month. In addition to her employment at Nørre Gymnasium (1920-1955), she lectured widely and was an active member of many associations including the Danish Geological Society.
