Signe Lund-Skabo was my grandmother. She indeed was a woman. She came from Bergen, Norway and was an accomplished pianist and composer. I was fortunate to have the University of Oslo send me copies of sheet music of pieces she had penned and a copy of her autobiography.

She came to the United States where my father was born in the beginning of the 20th century, but didn't stay too long. She was a socialist and took my father back to Norway about 1910. (He later returned to the U.S. to live with his father.) She stayed in Bergen, and eventually became a Quisling, and collaborated with the Nazis during WWII.

An interesting woman, to say the least.
