Activist and retired teacher.

In our interview with Andreassen, she speaks about growing up in a fairly liberal household, including with regard to being queer. Her parents had been politically active and were acquaintances of Karl Evang. Evang was a prominent figure as Director of Health and also served as one of the editors of Populært tidsskrift for seksuell opplysning (Popular Journal for Sexual Education). The journal challenged traditional views on sexuality and morality. In the Andreassen household, all issues of the journal were kept bound on the bookshelf.

In an excerpt from the interview, Andreassen recounts the time when the Workers' Communist Party (Marxist–Leninist) drafted a proposal for a 'statement on homosexuality,' an event that would have significant consequences for her.
