Auguste von Littrow

Auguste von Littrow, née Bischoff von Altenstern (13 February 1819 in Prague – 23 March 1890 in Vienna) was a German-Austrian author and women's movement leader.

She was the daughter of the physician Professor Ignaz von Bischoff-Altenstern.

Shortly after her 20th birthday, in 1839, she married astronomer Karl Ludwig von Littrow and settled in Vienna.

Rapidly the Littrow household developed into a meeting place of Viennese society.
