Julie M. Lippmann

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1864, Julie M. Lippmann was an American author, literary critic, and women's suffrage supporter. Sources describe her as widely educated through private schooling and a governess, and as a writer whose work appeared in magazines as well as in books and on the stage.

She wrote across an unusually broad range: novels, plays, poetry, literary criticism, and wartime political writing. Her best-known work was Martha By-the-Day, which she adapted into a successful play in 1914, and her novel Burkeses Amy later served as the basis for the 1919 film The Hoodlum.

Lippmann remained connected to literary and public life for decades. A New York Public Library description of a memoir by her niece notes that after many years in New York City, she moved to Cincinnati at about age eighty-five and died there in 1952.
