Ruth Berolzheimer

Theresa Ruth Berolzheimer was born in 1886 in Missouri. After her family moved to Chicago Heights around the turn of the century she became active in the small Jewish community there, founding the town's first Hebrew school at the age of 17. She attended the University of Illinois in Champaign and in 1908 graduated with a degree in chemical engineering—only the second woman in the school's history to do so.

From 1938 to 1949 she served as director and editor of Culinary Arts Institute (CAI), her name appearing on almost every publication it released—including The American Woman's Cookbook and its many subsequent printings and other major CAI titles like The Encyclopedic Cookbook and The Dairy Cookbook. Her resumé also lists more than two dozen smaller titles, from Body-Building Dishes for Children to 500 Sandwiches. Berolzheimer's last publication for the CAI was 1949's What Will We Eat Today? Pressure Cookery for Every Meal. After that she retired to southern California, where she died in 1965.
