==Early years==
Helena was born on 17 September 1887 in Tulse Hill, Brixton, London. Her father, Henryk (Henry) Loewenfeld had arrived in England from Silesia in the early 1880s. Although almost penniless he soon became a wealthy businessman through a variety of ventures, including buying up rundown theatres in the West End of London and starting a brewery selling non-alcoholic beer in Fulham at the time the temperance movement took hold. He married Alice Evans in 1884. Soon after Helena's birth, the family were able to move into a large house, staffed by servants in Knightsbridge, West London. Helena was educated initially at home by governesses and attended Princess Helena College then located in Ealing followed by Cheltenham Ladies College in Gloucestershire. Her younger sister, Margaret Lowenfeld, also became a doctor and was renowned as a pioneer in the fields of child psychology and psychotherapy.〔
In August 1917, Helena married Peter Wright, an army surgeon, with whom she had four sons.
