(590269) Steinberger Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 27 September 2011 by A. Farkas K. Sárneczky at Piszkesteto.
Sarolta Steinberger (1875–1966) was a Hungarian obstetrician-gynecologist, and the first woman doctor to graduate from the University of Budapest. She fought tenaciously for the social acceptance of women's medical identity. As a result of her efforts, she was appointed head of department at the National Social Insurance Institute.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 4, #15, 12), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
