Ruth Esther Nemzoff (born December 10, 1940) is an American author and politician who served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 1976 to 1982, where she represented the Hillsborough 18th district.[2] She later served as the state's deputy commissioner of health and welfare and worked in the government department at Bentley College.
In 1998, Nemzoff was a candidate for the 3rd district seat on the Massachusetts Governor's Council.[3] She came in second in the eight-candidate Democratic primary – finishing only 360 votes behind winner Marilyn Petitto Devaney.[4] Nemzoff ran again in 2000, but lost to Devaney again, this time by a 3,702 vote margin.[5]
Nemzoff was married to Tufts University School of Medicine dean Harris Berman from 1964 until his death in 2021. They had four children together.[6]
