Johanne Caroline Vilhelmine (Mimi) Carstensen née Nielsen (1852–1935) was a Danish philanthropist and a pioneering woman journalist. She is remembered for her lifelong leadership of the Louise Society (Louiseforeningen) which was founded in 1906 to provide financial support to needy single women. As early as 1887 she was one of very few women to embark on a career as a journalist, becoming editor of Damernes Blad in 1898 and of Louiseforeningens Blad from 1916 until she died in 1935.
