1901 Famous Husband and Wife Theatrical Team - "As a playwright and actor, Clara Lipman enjoyed a long and accomplished career in show business. A prolific writer with many stage credits, Lipman proved herself worthy of a powerful place in the not-so-woman-friendly New York theater world at the beginning of this century. In 1919, the New York Star cited Lipman as a featured hostess at a table for a dinner supporting the Woman Suffrage Party; she was one of only two actors who attended. Her engagement in a political cause specific to women was no doubt connected to professional struggles she faced because of her gender."
