Helen Rosenau (23 March 1900–27 October 1984)[1][2] was a German-born British academic, feminist, and historian of art and architecture.[3][4][1] Her 1944 work Women in Art has been described as "one of the first feminist tracts in art history".[1] Forced to leave Germany during the 1930s, Rosenau was one of a number of influential European Jewish intellectuals who brought innovation to academic study in the UK and US.[5]
