She was born in Furnes as a daughter of Harald Heyerdahl (1824–1886) and Marie Lithander. She took education, and studied languages abroad. In 1889 she married ophthalmologist Ludvig Hørbye (1856–1925).[1] [2] Her daughter Ragna Heyerdahl Hørbye married Colonel Gudbrand Østbye.[3]
She was a member of Oslo city council for three terms, from 1920 to 1928.[1] She was a central board member of the Liberal Left Party from 1918 to 1929.[4] She was a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway from 1925 to 1930.[1] In 1924 she was elected as the third deputy on the Liberal Left/Conservative joint ballot, and fourth deputy in 1927. In 1930 her party did not field a joint ballot, but its own ballot, and Hørbye was the second candidate behind Anton Wilhelm Brøgger. Neither were elected.
