Pseudonym: Claire Raimond
Pseudonym: C. E. Raimond
ER 's political commitment to feminism is evident throughout her plays, novels, travel writing, and essays, in which she addresses issues ranging from women's suffrage to the rest cure and white slave trade. Through much of her writing career (which spanned a decade of the nineteenth century and four decades of the twentieth) she insisted on maintaining anonymity despite pressure from her publishers to capitalize on her fame as an actress.

She is wearing a dark dress with a high collar and long sleeves, both of which are trimmed with fur, a tall, spreading dark hat probably of feathers, and a long silver chain.
