Jump to
Rebecca Cohen Henriquez (9 July 1864 – 23 May 1935) was a Sephardi Jewish woman from the Colonial Dutch island of Curaçao. Based upon the custom of her community, she was unable to work and instead devoted her time to charitable activities. In 1895, she founded the first woman's club, known as Entre Nous, in the country. Besides hosting literary events, the club was responsible for the construction of the Queen Wilhelmina Park in Willemstad. She was invested as a Knight of the Order of the Liberator by Venezuela in 1902 and was invested as a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau in 1932.
