editAnne-Kathrine Larsen was a teacher for five years and worked as a consultant for the school superintendent in Trondheim municipality for one year. She married the later dentist Peter Parow (brother of Anneliese Dørum).[5]
Parow was first elected to the Trondheim city council during the so-called "women's coup" in 1971.[2][6]
Parow served as the deputy mayor of Trondheim from 1980 to 1981.[7] From January 1, 1982, to December 31, 1984, she was the mayor, becoming the first woman in that position. Afterward, she was employed as the cultural director in Trondheim municipality from 1982 to 1992 and as the cultural director in Steinkjer municipality from 1993 to 1997.[8]
Parow remarried in 1987 to the then-municipal chief executive Axel Buch, a conservative who had previously been her deputy mayor. They lived at Hammer farm in Inderøy for a few years until his death in 1998.[2][9]
