'''Birgitte Dorothea Henriette Nielsen''', pen name '''Theodora''', (23 January 1815 - 17 January 1900) was a Danish author and playwright from the north of [[Jutland]]. Her ''Slægtningene'' (1849), presented in Copenhagen's [[Royal Danish Theatre]], was particularly successful with its [[vaudeville|pre-vaudeville]] atmosphere, local costumes from [[Fanø]] and songs she had composed herself. It ran to 78 performances.<ref name=dbl>{{citeweb|url=http://denstoredanske.dk/Dansk_Biografisk_Leksikon/Kunst_og_kultur/Litteratur/Forfatter/Henriette_Nielsen|title=Henriette Nielsen|author=Topsøe-Jensen, H.|publisher=
Her 1862 novel ''Esberhs Skolehistorier'' (Esberh's School Stories) is seen as an early example of works calling for [[women's rights|women's emancipation]].<ref name=dbl/>
