Rachel Lebowitz

Rachel Lebowitz is a Canadian writer.

She was born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1975, the daughter of economist Michael Lebowitz and union activist Sharon Yandle. After attending graduate school in Montreal, Quebec she moved with her husband, Zachariah Wells, to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2003. In 2006, Lebowitz and Wells moved to Vancouver, where Lebowitz enrolled in a teacher-training programme at Simon Fraser University.

Also in 2006, Lebowitz's book "Hannus" was published by Pedlar Press. "Hannus" is a biographical work about the life of Lebowitz's great-grandmother, Ida Hannus, a Finnish immigrant, suffragist and socialist who was involved in the utopian community of Sointula on British Columbia's Malcolm Island. It was shortlisted for the 2007 Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize.
