Christiane Ritter (13 July 1897, in Karlsbad – 29 December 2000, in Vienna) was an Austrian painter and writer. She is best known, in English, for her book A Woman in the Polar Night about her stay on Svalbard in 1933.[1][2] Originally published in 1938, her book is one of the few accounts written from a female perspective detailing life outside civilizations before the 20th century.
