Tove Billington Bye

Tove Billington Bye, née Jørgensen (28 July 1928 - 15 May 2008) was a Norwegian politician for the Centre Party.

She served as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament from Akershus during the terms 1973–1977 and 1977–1981.

On the local level, she was a member of the executive committee of Asker municipal council, having been elected in the so-called "women's coup" where four women (Tove Billington Bye, Berit Ås, Marie Borge Refsum and Kari Bjerke Anderssen) led a successful campaign to get women elected to the municipal council.
