Mathilde Malling Hauschultz

Mathilde Johanne Malling Hauschultz (1885–1929) was a Danish lawyer and a pioneering female politician.

Raised in a well-to-do environment, she matriculated from Laura Engelhardt's School in 1905, studied law at the University of Copenhagen and graduated as Cand.jur.

By 1918, she had become widely known for her influence on the agenda of the Conservative People's Party where she also stood in favour of women's inclusion in the 1918 elections.

It was therefore no surprise that not only she, but her colleague Karen Ankersted were both elected to the Folketing as representatives of the Conservative People's Party.

She was a frequent contributor to magazines and newspaper, editing the Berlingske Tidende column on Kvinden og Hjemmet (Women and the Home).
