From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Huldah
     weasel, a prophetess; the wife of Shallum. She was consulted
     regarding the "book of the law" discovered by the high priest
     Hilkiah (2 Kings 22:14-20; 2 Chr. 34:22-28). She resided in that
     part of Jerusalem called the Mishneh (A.V., "the college;" R.V.,
     "the second quarter"), supposed by some to be the suburb between


     the inner and the outer wall, the second or lower city, Akra.
     Miriam (Ex. 15:20) and Deborah (Judg. 4:4) are the only others
     who bear the title of "prophetess," for the word in Isa. 8:3
     means only the prophet's wife.
