Julie Mathilde Lippman (1864-1952) was an author of novels and plays and a political activist, who knew many of the prominent literary and political figures of her day. Best known for her novel MARTHA-BY-THE-DAY (1914) which she successfully adapted to the stage in 1919, Julie Mathilde Lippman came to know Louisa May Alcott while still a teenager, and later became friends with Mark Twain, Charles Dudley Warner, actor and playwright William Gillette, and other writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among Lippman's books were SWEET P'S (1905), MARTHA AND CUPID (1914), and FLEXIBLE FERDINAND (1919), while her works for the stage included COUSIN FAITHFUL (1908), THE FACTS IN THE CASE (1912), and A FOOL AND HIS MONEY (1913). Lippmann was a fervent supporter of Theodore Roosevelt, took part in the womens' suffrage movement, and also wrote propaganda for the Allied cause during the First World War. After many years of residence in New York City Julie Mathilde Lippman moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, at the age of eighty-five, to live with her niece, and died in that city three years later.
