Julie Mathilde Lippmann was an American author born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 27, 1864. Reliable reference pages describe her as a writer, literary critic, women's suffrage supporter, and political writer whose work included novels, plays, poetry, and criticism.
She is especially remembered for popular fiction featuring characters like Martha, and for stories that later reached the stage and screen. Her novel Martha By-The-Day was adapted for the stage in 1914, and Burkeses Amy became the basis for the 1919 film The Hoodlum.
Lippmann died in 1952. While a portrait image was not confirmed from the available page images I checked, the record that emerges is of a flexible, energetic writer who moved comfortably between literature, theater, and public life.
