Personal life

Dahl was born in Istanbul,[1] the daughter of Silvie Pessi (1863–1939) and businessman Joachim Peter (died 1891).[2] As her father died the year after her birth,[2] the family eventually left Istanbul and Dahl grew up in Zürich.[1] In 1913 she married Knud Dahl, who graduated as engineer in Zürich the same year.[2] From 1915 to 1917 she lived with her husband in the United States,[1][2] and thereafter in Oslo. She died in Oslo on 21 January 1979.[1]
