She was born in London to Jewish parents Alice (née Cowen) and Simeon Kensington Salaman. Her thirteen siblings included Charles Kensington, Rachel, Annette, and Julia Salaman.[1] On 12 May 1857,[2] she married Judah (Julius) Collins, a surgeon and warden of the Western Marble Arch Synagogue,[3] whose brother was architect Hyman Henry Collins.[4]

Salaman's work appeared in numerous British and American periodicals during the 1840s and 1850s,[5] including Isaac Leeser's Occident and American Jewish Advocate.[1] Her only published volume of poetry was Poems by R. E. S. (1853), dedicated to physiologist Marshall Hall.[6] The work was well-received by critics,[7] and was reportedly the only book accepted by Queen Victoria in the year of mourning following Prince Albert's death in 1861.[4]
