Henriette Danneskiold-Samsøe

Johanne Henriette Valentine Danneskiold-Samsøe née Kaas (12 August 1776 – 28 July 1843) was a Danish countess who, when widowed, fulfilled her former husband's plans by founding the Holmegaard Glass Factory near Næstved in 1825. In so doing, she became one of Denmark's most notable early businesswomen. Danneskiold-Samsøe is also remembered for the correspondence she maintained with her former tutor Peder Deichmann.
