2010

Petersen was born in Tórshavn. She is the daughter of the editor Georg L. Samuelsen, the sister of the journalist Beate L. Samuelsen, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Andrass Samuelsen, and the niece of the lawyer Trygvi Samuelsen. She comes from an influential family that owned most of the newspaper Dimmalætting. She was the largest single shareholder when the family sold its shares in 2010. Her son Georg L. Petersen is the current editor-in-chief of Dimmalætting. Her grandfather and uncle were also leaders of the Union Party.

2007

Petersen served in the Danish Parliament as a representative from the Faroes from 2001 to 2005 and joined the Venstre party's group in the parliament. On March 8, 2007 (International Women's Day), Petersen announced that she would withdraw from politics. In 2014 she resigned from the Union Party in protest against the political orientation of Kaj Leo Johannesen's government.

1990

Petersen served in the Faroese Parliament as a representative from the South Streymoy (Faroese: Suðurstreymoy) district from 1990 to 2008. During her first term she was mostly engaged in transport, justice, social, and health issues, and she later sat on the Faroese Parliament's financial committee. She was especially engaged in cooperation with Iceland and Greenland, and was a member of the Faroese Parliament's delegation to the West Nordic Council (formerly the West Nordic Parliamentarian Council of Cooperation) from 1990 to 2002, serving as the council's president from 1993 to 1994 and from 1996 to 1997. She played a central role in the Union Party following the party's 1994 election victory during the Faroese financial crisis and advanced to head of the party and parliamentary leader from 2001 to 2004.

After the elections in 1992, she yielded to pressure from her political supporters and became Tórshavn's first female mayor. The Union Party had its best-ever showing in the local elections of 1996, but Petersen did not take a leading position between 1997 and 2000, after which she withdrew from local politics.
