Clara Tschudi (9 September 1856 – 10 November 1945) was a Norwegian writer.
She was born in Tønsberg. She is best known for her biographies of contemporary and historical women. Among her publications are the book Kvindebevægelsen, dens Udvikling og nuværende Standpunkt from 1885, and Tre Nutidskvinder from 1887 about the women's rights activists Camilla Collett, Lina Morgenstern and Gertrude Guillaume-Schack. Her book Kejserinde Eugenie from 1889 was the first of a series of biographical portraits of central women in the European Royal families. A German translation of her book on Empress Elisabeth of Austria was subsequently forbidden in Austria.[1][2] She resided in Gausdal, and died in November 1945.[3]
