Notes - In school, the nuns who educated Rita decided that Rita was not a serious enough name (despite the fact that there was a saint named Rita) and gave her the name Henriette Ambar. So during her school years, Rita was known as Henriette Ambar.
In her youth, Rita was very involved with movements and together with friends she started an organization to distribute medicine to poorer members of the jewish neighborhoods of Cairo. When she was about 17, a doorman suspected Rita of being involved in a sionist movement based on the number of jewish people that visited her in their apartment. When the police arrived, they found Rita reading a book by English statesman D'Israeli and they aprehended her and put her in jail for the night. The next morning, Rita's mother, Aimée, was able to free Rita from jail by explaining to the policemen that Rita played tennis at the Heliopolis Club with a relation to the generals of Egypt. They quickly regretted improsning Rita for reading an English book and freed her.
