Ida Clyde Clarke
Ida Clyde Clarke (nee Gallaher; 1878–1956) was an American journalist, writer and suffragist.[1] "She was a prolific and multi-faceted writer, producing works of both fiction and non-fiction studies of community organization and feminism".[2]
Life
In 1920 she founded a monthly magazine The Independent Woman, editing it until 1921.[3]
She was a contributing editor to Pictorial Review and founded its $5,000 annual award for women of achievement.[4]
In 1932 her son, Haden Clarke, was a ghostwriter engaged to write the memoirs of the aviator Jessie Miller. After a relationship ensued between Clarke and Miller, Clarke was killed by a gunshot wound to the head. The gun belonged to Miller's partner Bill Lancaster, who also admitted forging suicide notes, but Lancaster was acquitted of murder charges.[5]
