Sophy A. Christensen

Thanks in part to the support she received from the Danish Women's Society, she successfully completed her apprenticeship as a furniture maker in 1893 and attended the Chicago World Fair the same year.

After heading the Industrial Design School for Women from 1907 to 1916, she devoted the rest of her active life to running her own business.

After her younger brother suggested she should take a carpentry course to improve her earnings, she took a three-month course at Aksel Mikkelsen's school and advanced quickly.

[4] In 1890, she succeeded in embarking on a training apprenticeship as a cabinet maker which she completed successfully in 1883.

[2] Sophy Christensen died in Copenhagen on 31 July 1955 and is buried in Bispebjerg Cemetery.
