Amalia Holst (née Amalia von Justi; 10 February 1758 – 6 January 1829) was a German writer, intellectual, and feminist. Her work examined traditional pedagogy and challenged Enlightenment writers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau. She is often called the German counterpart to Mary Wollstonecraft. There is still little known about Amalia Holst's life. She rose to prominence in the late 1700s through her works as a teacher. In the 1970s, she became more widely recognized after her work was rediscovered and published.
