“She was a very determined, very smart, very independent person,” Born in 1886 in Missouri, Theresa Ruth Berolzheimer moved to Chicago Heights, where she became active in the local Jewish community—founding the town’s first Hebrew school at just 17.
She later attended the University of Illinois in Champaign and graduated in 1908 with a degree in chemical engineering, becoming only the second woman in the school’s history to do so.
