Anna Lise (Nynne) Koch (1915–2001) was a Danish feminist, writer and a pioneering researcher in gender studies.
In the early 1980s, she organized courses on women's studies (feminologie) at the People's University (Folkeuniversitetet) in Copenhagen and edited the journal Forum for Kvindeforskning.
[1] Brought up in a privileged family environment in Amaliegade, she enjoyed considerable freedom although she was expected to achieve substantial accomplishments in life.
After being privately tutored, when she was 16 she attended N. Zahle's School but as an outstanding pupil soon moved to the Polyteknisk Læreanstalt where she began to study architecture.
Drawing on the development of the Kvinnohistoriska Samlingarna established in 1958 in Gothenburg and the creation of the Women's History Collection (Kvindehistorisk Samling) in 1964 at the State and University Library in Aarhus, she managed to convince the national librarian Palle Birkelund [da] that it was important to highlight literature relevant to women in the collection of the National Library.
She was initially permitted to devote time to making a catalogue of women's literature but in 1973 she was appointed coordinator of books relating to feminism, including responsibility for purchasing relevant works.
In 1971, in connection with the 100th anniversary of the Danish Women's Society, she organized a Feminology Exhibition, tracing feminism from ancient Greece to Denmark's Red Stocking Movement.
