Clare Boothe Luce was one of the most influential women in modern American history. Yet she came from simple roots. She was born in New York City in 1903. Clare’s father was a musician and businessman. Her mother had been a dancer. While Clare was a girl, she received very good education. Clare developed a serious interest in writing.(30)In 1930s she accepted a job at a famous magazine, Vanity Fair. She wrote reports about social events and famous people in New York. Later she became a top editor at Vanity Fair. She worked there until 1934. By then, she was also writing plays. One play was called Abide with Me. It was about a man who mistreats his wife. Abide with Me opened in a theater on Broadway in New York City in 1935. Critics hated it. Her second play, The Women, made fun of rich women. It opened on Broadway in 1936. The show was very popular. It was later made into a movie. Another play, Kiss the Boys Goodbye, also was a success. So was her next play, Margin for Error. All three plays were noted for their use of sharp language and making fun of human failings. Clare Boothe Luce was known for expressing her opinions. Her most famous saying was: "No bad deed goes unpunished." She often spoke about the problems of women trying to succeed in a world mainly controlled by men. She said, "Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say ’She doesn’t have what it takes. ’(32)They will say ’Women don’t have what it takes.’"
