# Lillian Oppenheimer

> Lillian Vorhaus Oppenheimer was an American origami pioneer from New York City. During the latter half of her life, Oppenheimer became a leading figure in origami and is credited with popularizing the art form in the United States. She adopted the Japanese word origami because she liked the sound of it and felt like the English term paper folding was too vague. Origami eventually became the more common name.
