Zinaida Vengerova (April 19, 1867 – 1941) was a Russian literary critic and translator. She is considered one of the few women who were highly educated during her time, having studied in universities in Russia, France, and England.[1] For her works, she had been described as "a literary ambassador between East and West".[2] She also influenced the first generation of Russian symbolists through her writings about French symbolism.[3]
