Beginning her career as a municipal politician in Vinterviken, she also worked for many years as a human rights lawyer, before being elected to Parliament in 1987, representing her native Skalaholt. Entering politics as a centrist self-described social liberal aligned with the Democratic Party, in recent years she has moved to the left, describing herself first as a social democrat, and later as a democratic socialist, joining the Labour Party following the split of the Coalition of Socialists & Democrats.
