Ann Hansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (416 words)
Ann Hansen is a Canadian anarchist and former member of Direct Action, a guerrilla organization famous for the 1982 bombing of a Litton Industries plant, which made components for American cruise missiles.
Ann Hansen was raised in Concord, a rural town outside Toronto, by working-class Danish immigrants.
Hansen describes herself as having been a "nature-loving tomboy who gladly helped around the house, hoed weeds in the evergreens on weekends, and did well in school." She attributes her idyllic childhood with having heightened her sensitivity to the negative aspects of society which she encountered as she grew older.
