Lyn Berlowitz

Linda Marion Berlowitz (30 April 1903 – 1 July 1998) was an Australian pastoralist, nurse and politician. She was the first woman to be a member of the Northern Territory Legislative Council when she was elected as the independent member for Fannie Bay on 20 February 1960.

Berlowitz was born on 30 April 1903 in Boulder, Western Australia. After her schooling, she worked for a stock and station agency before moving to Melbourne to train as a nurse. In 1943, she married Harold "Happy" Berlowitz, and the couple moved to Darwin several years later. In Darwin, Berlowitz was active in community affairs, particularly women's issues, and was encouraged by friends and colleagues to run as an independent candidate at the 1960 election for the Legislative Council. She did so, and was elected as member for the new district of Fannie Bay, serving one term before being defeated by Harry Chan in 1962.

As a member of the council, Berlowitz took a keen interest in Aboriginal affairs.

The Berlowitzes purchased the Bullita Station homestead and cattle station in the Victoria River region, where they lived until 1977.

Berlowitz died in Sydney on 1 July 1998 at age 95.
