Lillie Cowen (1851 -1939) was the first woman to translate the Haggadah. In 1904, she published the Cowen, it was the first mass-produced adaptation of the Haggadah in modern American vernacular and the most popular Haggadah in the United States in the first quarter of the twentieth century. The original text contained the score for “America” and the Star Spangled Banner”. This edition of 1911 also included an early version of Hatikvah; Cowen was both deeply American and a staunch Zionist.
