Auguste von Littrow,néeBischoff 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. There Hermann Bonitz, Josef Danhauser, Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach, August Eisenmenger, Ernst von Feuchtersleben, Ottilie von Goethe, Franz Grillparzer, Friedrich Hebbel, Rudolf von Jhering, Joseph Lewinsky, Franz Miklosich all met.
Asteroid 254 Augusta is named in her honour.[1]
She is the great-great grandmother of Roman Catholic Cardinal Christoph Schönborn.
