The only daughter of Adolphe Meyer Lowenthal, Frida was the widow of the chemist Ludwig Mond.

The couple, who were cousins, married at Cologne in 1866. They quickly emigrated to England and first settled at Widnes, Farnworth in Lancashire where two sons were born to them: Dr. Robert Ludwig Mond, and Albert Moritz Mond, (who, in 1928 was created Lord Melchett). Ludwig became a naturalized British citizen in 1880, and in 1884 moved his family to London.

Frida and Ludwig spent their winters at Palazzo Zuccari in Rome, and much time on the continent where they acquired a large collection of Old Masters paintings. Upon his death in 1909, Ludwig left a bequest of 56 of his masterpieces to the Britain's National Gallery, stipulating they would not be delivered until after Frida's death.

An enthusiast of the arts and literature, Frida left bequests of her own to the British Academy and King's College, London.

Frida died at her residence "The Poplars," 20 Avenue Road, Regent's Park.

Her remains were cremated at Golder's Green Crematorium.
