Eta Vainshtein was born into the family of worker Aron Vainshtein (died 1936, Ludza) and housewife Fruma Vainshtein (died 1942, Cheboksary, Chuvash ASSR). She completed 7 grades at the Ludza Jewish School (1935), and upon moving to Riga, worked at the “Lenta” factory (1936–1941). She was evacuated to Cheboksary, where she worked as a nurse in a military hospital (1941–1943), and as a worker at a bread factory (1943–1944). She then moved to Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod), where she worked as a shop assistant in a bakery (1944–1946).
Upon returning to Latvia, Eta Vainshtein worked in Riga as a sales assistant in the ORS store of Voenmolstroy (1946–1948), in the Torgmortrans store (1948–1949), and in Store No. 1 of Latrybsbyt, which was later reorganised into Store No. 1 of the City Food Trade Organisation (1949–1955). She later worked as a shop assistant in Store No. 50 (1955–1959), in the 2nd City Food Trade Organisation (1959–1963), then as a worker at the “Rekord” footwear factory (1963–1964), and as a shop assistant at Store No. 33 of the Household Goods Trade Network (1964–1968).
