Anna Berentine Anthoni (18 May 1884 – 4 March 1951) was a Norwegian trade unionist and politician for the Labour Party.
She was born in Bergen, and had her first job at a curtain factory from 1901 to 1905. From 1906 to 1910 she was a captain in the Salvation Army, and then she spent several years in the city Horten, where she managed a retirement home from 1919 to 1925. She then returned to Bergen, worked two years in the textile industry before becoming fully involved in the trade union Norsk Tekstilarbeiderforbund.[1] The trade union would become a part of Bekledningsarbeiderforbundet in 1969 and the United Federation of Trade Unions in 1988.[2]
She was a member of the executive committee of Bergen city council from 1934 to 1951. She was also a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway, representing the constituency Bergen, during the terms 1937–1945 and 1950–1953. In 1950 she gained a regular seat in parliament, since Nils Langhelle had become a member of Gerhardsen's Second Cabinet. She held this position until her death on 4 March 1951.[1]
