About Tamara Katsenelenbogen
Tamara Davydovna Katsenelenbogen was born in 1894 in Dvinsk, which was then part of the Russian Empire. Today, this city is called Daugavpils and is in Latvia. Her brother, Nikolay Katzenellenbogen, was also a well-known architect.
In 1911, Tamara started studying at the Women's Polytechnic Institute. This was a very important school because it was the first higher technical school in the Russian Empire for women. She finished her studies there in 1916.
