Berg and Høeg lived life on their own terms, both as romantic partners in a time of little LGBTQ visibility and as business partners running a studio and publishing company when women were highly restricted in their careers — and beyond. But decades after their deaths in the 1940s, another radical aspect of their lives resurfaced, tucked away in boxes of glass negatives marked “private”: the couple eschewing traditional gender norms in playful portraits they took of themselves and loved ones.

Marie Høeg and Bolette Berg: defying gender roles around 1900.

Once in a while, you come across something that catches your eye and immediately makes you wonder: what is going on here? TELL ME!

Imagine my thoughts when I saw this lovely photograph last week.

Where to start? The first thing that struck me was the truly amazing pose of the dog. Next, the haircut. Third: the very typical common studio background which led to the question: who would photograph this, or what kind of a person thought this the best way to let themselves be captured for eternity?

Enter the Norwegian photographers Marie Høeg and Bolette Berg.

I love lesbians;

But my heart burns specially for one kind of lesbian - the one who is comfortable but effortlessly elegant, reject femininity because it’s a prison for the mind and the body, clothes a bit too big but that’s how they are supposed to be and a wicked shine in her eye - The Rascal Lesbian

For example : Marie Høeg (15 April 1866 – 22 February 1949), a norwegian photographer, suffragist and a lesbian

Let’s take a closer look:

I would steal her outfit so bad

Sitting weirdly on stuff is also part of the aesthetic

I know this is underwear clothing but i simply don’t care

With her wife Bolette Berg (all photos were taken by Hoeg&Berg themselves)

Hey! Hope you’re doing well and staying healthy. I’ve had a particularly rough work week, thought I was about to wreck my car (I didn’t and no wrecks or even a ding happened lol), and I found out one of my favorite coworkers-turned-friend is being transferred to a different office that I hardly go to... if it’s okay, I just need to hear something happy? I’m sorry lol I hate to ask but not too many things make my happy anymore lol. Love ya dear -BatSnacks

Hi my darling! I’m so so sorry to hear all of this. :( I just want to shower you in love and cuddles and blanket nests.

Um, so recently I discovered Marie Hoeg’s photography! I think these photos are approximately Victorian era? Anyway! Look at how much fun they were having!

MARIE HOEG

From 1895 to 1903, photographers Marie Høeg and Bolette Berg operated a commercial studio in the Norwegian town of Horten.

Høeg was an active and outspoken suffragist, and used the studio as a meeting place for fellow activists and women interested in the suffrage movement. (Women won the right to vote in Norway in 1913.)

More than three decades after Høeg’s death in 1949, a box of the partners' glass plate negatives marked “private” was discovered on a farm where they once lived.

Now in the collection of the Preus Museum, the photos offer a remarkable glimpse into the photographers’ private gender-bending experiments.

Short-haired Høeg dons numerous men’s outfits, posing in alternately serious and playful tableaux, joined occasionally by Berg and their dog Tuss.

Høeg’s defiant suffragist spirit shines through the images, her costume choices allowing her to occupy traditionally male roles and personas as she campaigns for women’s right to an equal place in society.

Tell us about your fact-checking of the most impressively ahead-of-its-time 19thc gay haircut you've ever seen! What did you learn?? Tell us tell us!

Here’s what I learned: not only were Marie Høeg and Bolette Bergreal, and super gay, and extremely ahead of their time wrt lesbian haircuts, they ALSO pioneered the newsboy cap as a genderqueer fashion accessory

which leads me to believe, since they have so far been spot-on with their fashion predictions thus far, that I will be seeing a large increase in dapper false moustaches within my social circles in the next few years

I recommend that you search "mashable berg and hoeg collection" for gender conventions defying photos from 1895-1903.

Thank you!
