Early Years and Youth
Isabel Luberza Oppenheimer was born in barrio San Anton, Ponce, Puerto Rico, on 23 July 1901.
Apart from her business as a madam, well documented in many Puerto Rican newspapers such as El Dia and El Vocero, not much is known about her life. One widely circulated version is that Isabel left home as a young teenager to live with a wealthy man, only to find out that he was married. She then dated, and married, a much older man, a wealthy American.
