Mrs. I. Lowenberg (née, Bettie Lilienfeld; December 11, 1845 – December 1924) was an American author, clubwoman,[1] reformer, and socialite. Born in Alabama and educated in Missouri, she removed to San Francisco, California in 1860 and spent the rest of her life there.[2] Lowenberg was the founder of San Francisco's Philomath Club, the first club in the world composed of Jewish women with a regularly adopted constitution.[3] Her essays focused on various topics, especially on peace and arbitration. All three of her novels advocated for various types of reform.[4]
