Elise Adelaïde Haighton (28 May 1841 – 11 August 1911) was a Dutch feminist and free thinker who wrote under the pseudonyms Hroswitha and Brunhilde or Brunehilde.
Haighton expressed her opinions on women who distinguished themselves in some way. These could be classical actors, but also women such as Anna Maria van Schurman, Elise van Calcar and Mina Kruseman. According to Haighton, women, just like men, had to develop as much as possible and make themselves useful to society.
