Anna Sophie (von der) Hude (1858–1934) was the first Danish woman to graduate as a historian (1887), the first to be awarded Copenhagen University's gold medal (1888) and the first to become a Doctor of Philosophy.
The following year, she was awarded the university's gold medal for her dissertation on the origins of feudalism, En Fremstilling og Kritik af de nyere Opfattelser af Spørgsmaalet om Lensvæsnets Opkomst.
In 1893, she became the first woman to receive a Dr.phil for her work on the Danehof medieval parliament titled Danehoffet og dets Plads i Danmarks Statsforfatning.
He survived but later hanged himself in the cell where he was being held after Hude explained the reason for her action.
While there, she collaborated with Kristian Erslev and William Christensen [da] on Repertorium diplomaticum Regni danici mediævalis.
