- catalog description "Author, lecturer, suffragist, and traveler, Rebecca Hourwich Reyher was born on January 21, 1897, in New York City, the second child of Isaac Hourwich (1860-1924) and his second wife Louise Elizabeth "Lisa" (Joffe) Hourwich (1866-1947). Reyher enrolled in Columbia University's extension school in 1915 and took classes at the University of Chicago in the early 1920s; she received her bachelor's degree in 1954, after taking summer school classes at the University of Chicago. In March 1913, Reyher marched in the first suffrage parade in the United States; soon thereafter, she began work for the National Woman's Party and she remained passionate about women's rights for the rest of her life. In 1917, she married fellow writer Ferdinand Reyher; their daughter Faith was born in 1919, and the couple divorced in 1934.".

- catalog description "Reyher took her first trip to South Africa as a journalist in 1924; this trip opened her eyes to the plight of women in other countries and inspired several more trips to the African continent. In 1934, she met Christina Sibiya, the first wife of Solomon ka Dinuzulu, King of the Zulus. This encounter resulted in Reyher's book Zulu Woman (1948), the story of Sibiya's first meeting with Solomon, her experiences as one of his sixty-five wives, and his increasingly violent behavior, which finally caused her to leave him. The book also addressed the increasing Westernization of Africa and the ensuing conflict with traditional customs and practices. Reyher's other books included the children's book My Mother Is the Most Beautiful Woman in the World (1945) and The Fon and His Hundred Wives (1952). She contributed articles to numerous newspapers and magazines and also lectured widely. In the 1930s, Reyher became involved with the People's Mandate Committee, serving as part of the Committee's "Flying Caravan" mission, which traveled through South and Central America supporting ratification of the Buenos Aires Peace Treaties. She hosted a weekly half-hour radio program, "City Fun with Children," which featured guests from museums, zoos, and parks in New York City and aired from 1945 to 1949. In the 1960s, she began lecturing, primarily on Africa, at the New School for Social Research. Reyher died of pneumonia on January 9, 1987.".
