Margit Kaffka (1880–1918) was a poet and novelist, one of the most important female Hungarian authors. Her works dealt mostly with two main themes: the decline of the gentry class, and the problems faced by women in an era of major social changes. She died of influenza in the winter of 1918.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 1, #1, 30), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
