Pauline Perlmutter Steinem (August 4, 1864 — January 5, 1940) was a Jewish American suffragist born in Poland.
In 1904, she became the first woman to be elected to the Board of Education in Toledo, Ohio as well as to any public office there, and thereby also she became possibly the first Jewish woman and was definitely one of the earliest to hold elected public office in the United States. She rescued many members of her family from the Holocaust.
She was also the grandmother of feminist Gloria Steinem.
