Ottilie Davida Assing (11 February, 1819 – 21 August, 1884) was a 19th-century German feminist, freethinker, and abolitionist. Born in Hamburg, she was the eldest daughter of a prominent Jewish physician, David Assur, who converted to Christianity upon marriage to her Lutheran-raised mother, and changed his name to Assing. Her mother was the poet Rosa Maria Varnhagen Assing, who was friendly with other literary women, including Clara Mundt and Fanny Lewald, and prominent in liberal circles that supported (but failed to achieve) social revolution in 1848.
