Countess Ida von Hahn-Hahn (German: Ida Gräfin von Hahn-Hahn; 22 June 1805 – 12 January 1880) was a German author from a wealthy family who lost their fortune because of her father's eccentric spending.
She defied convention by living with Adolf von Bystram unmarried for 21 years.
Her writings about the German aristocracy were greatly favored by the general public of her time.
Ida von Hahn-Hahn often wrote about the tragedies of the soul and was influenced by the French novelist George Sand.
She "was an indefatigable campaigner for the emancipation of women" and her writings include many strong female characters.
