Tatiana Grigorovici, born Tatiana Pisterman (31 March 1877–25 September 1952), was an Austro-Hungarian social democratic labour activist and economic theorist.[1]

Born in Kamenetz Podolski (at the time in the Russian Empire), as the 14th child of a wealthy Jewish merchant family, she was one of the few women of her generation who were able to complete a university degree. She went to the universities of Vienna and Bern, where she studied philosophy and political economy and discovered her fascination for Marxism, especially for Karl Marx's economic writings and Das Kapital. In 1903, she married Gheorghe Grigorovici, a Romanian medical school student in Vienna and fellow social democrat. In 1906, they moved to Czernowitz, in his native Bukovina.[1] Their son, Radu Grigorovici, became a Romanian physicist.
