Henriette Fürth

Henriette Fürth (born Henriette Katzenstein, 15 August 1861 – 1 June 1938) was a German sociologist, women's rights activist, author-journalist and poet.

After the ban on female participation in political organisation was revoked in 1908, she involved herself in politics in the Frankfurt region (SPD). Though described in one source as "not a believing Jew", it is apparent from sources that Henriette Fürth's Jewish provenance was hugely important to her throughout her life. She died in 1938, before the full horrors of the Shoah unfolded. Two of her daughters died in concentration camps, however. Provided by Wikipedia
