Franziska Carlsen

Franziska Antoinette Hilleborg Carlsen (13 November 1817 – 28 February 1876) was a Danish writer who was particularly interested in local history and folklore. She was also a keen collector of items of historical interest.

With the publication of her pioneering ''Noget om og fra Rønnebæk Sogn med Rønnebæksholm'' (Something about and from the parish of Rønnebæk and Ronnebæakshlom Manor) in 1861, she became one of the few women of her times to publish works documenting local folklore. Provided by Wikipedia
