Leah Erna Beck [née Rosenbaum] was born in the former Yugoslavia before escaping to Canada at the outbreak of World War II, in 1939. Leah Erna Beck’s father ran the toy manufacturing company, Pax Manufacturing, in Toronto, Ontario. At seventeen, Leah Erna Beck married Alec Englander and had her first child at nineteen. She earned her bachelors of arts at Ithaca College, New York, before returning to Toronto so that her husband could run the family business.

Beck studied art at the New School of Art and the Ontario College of Art and her media included sculpture, serigraphy, drawing and painting. She adopted her mother’s name, Erna, as a middle name, after separating from her husband in 1973. Leah Erna Beck became a feminist organizer, working at Women’s Place in Toronto and helping found Times Change, Women’s Employment Service, in 1974. She was motivated by her experiences of frustrations and women’s limited opportunities, hosting consciousness raising sessions at community venues. Along with her feminist organizing work, Beck was a founding collective member of WATER: Women Artists Together and her sculptures, stained glass work and art performances were featured in festivals and venues. Her daughter, Karen Englander received publicity as a young teenage feminist and her daughter, Anrénee, wrote the best-selling work, “Dear Diary, I’m Pregnant.” Leah Erna Beck was featured for her feminist activist work in the long-standing Canadian magazine, “Saturday Night” and she was published in “Velvet Fist.”
