Henriette Nielsen

Birgitte Dorothea Henriette Nielsen, pen name Theodora, (23 January 1815 - 17 January 1900) was a Danish author and playwright from the north of Jutland. Her Slægtningene (1849), presented in Copenhagen's Royal Danish Theatre, was particularly successful with its pre-vaudeville atmosphere, local costumes from Fanø and songs she had composed herself. It ran to 78 performances.[1][2]

Her 1862 novel Esberhs Skolehistorier (Esberh's School Stories) is seen as an early example of works calling for women's emancipation.[1]
