Description
Clémentine Clatteaux Delait (March 5, 1865 - April 5, 1939) was a French bearded lady. In 1885, she married a local baker, and together they opened a café and bakery. Until that point she had shaved her beard every day, but while working at the café she made a bet with a customer to let it grow. The bet attracted many more customers to the café and they changed the name to Le Café de La Femme à Barbe (The cafe of the Bearded Woman). Unlike many other bearded women of the time, Clementine did not succumb to pressure to join a circus, but she did sell photographs of herself. No photographer credited, 1910s.
