Background
Bock was born in Gladsaxe to Ole Samuelsen and Anna Holm, and is married to Hans Jørn Bock. Anders Samuelsen is her brother. She graduated in philosophy from Odense University and political science from Aarhus University. She worked as a lecturer at Aarhus School of Business and Social Sciences from 1984 to 2002.[1]
Political career
Bock joined the Socialist People's Party for which she ran unsuccessfully in the 1994 parliamentary election. Later, Bock changed her allegiance to the Social Liberal Party for which she ran in the 2001 election, again unsuccessfully. In 2002 she became the editor-in-chief of JydskeVestkysten and the South Danish Media conglomerate. When her brother Anders Samuelsen left the Social Liberal Party to found the New Alliance (later renamed as Liberal Alliance) in 2007, Bock expressed her support for that party, too. She would later join the party. From 2008 to 2009 she was the programme director of the public Danish Broadcasting Corporation.[2][1]
She was elected representative to the Folketing at the 2011 Danish general election, as a member of Liberal Alliance. She was reelected in the 2015 election. From November 2016 to June 2019 she served as Minister for Culture and Church in the Lars Løkke Rasmussen III Cabinet. In 2019 she ran in the European Parliament election, but failed to get elected. She left politics shortly after the election.[1][3]
