Rahel Varnhagen: The Life of a Jewess is a book-length biography of Rahel Varnhagen written by political philosopher Hannah Arendt, first published in 1959. It was translated from German to English in 1957, French in 1986, and Spanish in 2000. A revised edition in 1974 used the subtitle The Life of a Jewish Woman. A later biography of the subject by Heidi Thomann Tewarson (2001) distanced itself from Arendt's work, which its author considered too critical of Varnhagen.
