Tania Ørum
About
Paula Tatiana (Tania) Ørum is a Danish feminist, literary historian and writer who has specialized in women's and gender studies. Together with Lene Koch, in the 1970s she was one of the driving forces behind recognition of the need for university courses in women's research. This later led to the Danish gender and women's research centre KVINFO, to which she contributed from 1981 to 1990. Her own research has focused on the relationship between gender and literature as can be seen in her Pamelas Døtre (1985). Since her retirement in 2015 from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, she continues to be an active writer and speaker, especially in connection with avant-garde art in the 1960s.
