Marcet Haldeman-Julius (''née'' Anna Marcet Haldeman; June 18, 1887 – February 13, 1941) was an American feminist, actress, playwright, civil rights advocate, editor, author, and bank president. She was born in Girard, Kansas, the daughter of physician Henry Winfield Haldeman and his wife Alice. Alice was the sister of social activist Jane Addams, with whom Marcet maintained a close relation until the end of the Addams's life.〔See Addams, ''Selected Papers'' (Bryan & Bair) in bibliography, both volumes ''passim.'' "Marcet immediately became the focus of attention and affection for a small family circle that included her Uncle George Haldeman, Grandmother Anna Addams, and parents. Jane Addams was also a doting aunt. () For the remainder of Jane Addams's life and as Marcet grew to maturity, the Haldemans made sure that their daughter and her close Illinois relatives saw each other regularly. Alice Haldeman took her to visit family in Illinois at least once each year, usually during the summer. They customarily stayed for a time with Jane Addams at Hull-House and also stopped in Cedarville with () Weber () and Laura Shoemaker Addams() so Marcet could visit her grandmother Anna Addams and Uncle George Haldeman" (from Vol. 1, (p. 522 )).〕 Marcet studied at the Rockford Seminary for Young Ladies (''alma mater'' also of her aunt Jane〔"(James Addams - Biographical )" at NobelPrize.org.〕) and then the Dearborn Seminary in Chicago, until the death of her father in 1905, followed by Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. While at Bryn Mawr she became one of the closest friends and confidantes of the poetess Marianne Moore.〔Leavell pp. 82-85, 87.〕〔Moore, pp. 6, 20, 29-31, 47. Some of Moore's letters to Marcet are on pp. 32-41, 48-49 (example (here )).〕 After three years she left the college to continue her stage acting, graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1910.〔''New York Clipper'', 26 March 1910, (p. 156 ), "Graduation Exercises of American Academy of Dramatic Arts."〕 Between 1910 and 1915 she performed with the Orpheum Players and other stock companies in Newark, New York, Montreal, St. Louis and other cities, under the name Jean Marcet.〔See Marcet's (Wikimedia Commons page ) for photographs and some newspaper clippings.〕 Marcet's father and mother ran the Bank of Girard. When her mother Alice died in 1915, Marcet once again returned to her hometown, where she took over management of the bank. That same year she founded The Jolly Club in nearby Radley, for the benefit of the many young immigrants (from numerous countries, but especially Italy) who had come to work in the area's mines. The Jolly Club provided English lessons, practical training and safe diversion.〔“Settling the Sunflower State: Jolly Club provided service for youth”, ''Laurence Journal-World'', 13 Dec. 1981, (p. 13 ). See photo (here ).〕 The following year she began to found other clubs as well, including one for younger boys and an Italian language club. These became quite popular and in 1921 she turned one of them into a school, where she taught. During her youth Marcet had spent many summers with her aunt, Jane Addams, at Hull House; she credited Addams with much of her inspiration and over the years the two of them discussed Marcet’s clubs both in person and through correspondence.〔See Barrett-Fox in bibliography, pp. 56-59, online (here ).〕 In 1916 she married activist and publisher Emanuel Julius. At her aunt Jane's suggestion,〔Julie Herrada, "Emanuel Haldeman-Julius", ''The New Encyclopedia of Unbelief'', (p. 375 ).〕 both partners adopted the surname Haldeman-Julius.〔"Soon after arriving in Girard, Julius made the observation that the area had only two interesting women: one an art teacher in Fort Scott, the other the vice president of a Girard bank. He pursued the banker, and within six months, on June 1, 1916, they were wedded at the Addams homestead in Cedarville, Illinois. Six months after the wedding, their name was legally changed to the now familiar ‘Haldeman-Julius.’ They were soon starting a family, raising registered cattle, and writing fiction together" (Gene DeGruson, "(Afterword )").〕 They wrote both separately and together, their most well-known collaboration being the 1921 novel ''(Dust )''. "She travelled to the Soviet Union in 1931-1932 to report on the status of the Russian Revolution for ''The American Freeman''. () In the 1930s she did numerous articles and short stories with John W. Gunn, a writer for the Haldeman-Julius press."〔Quoted from (a finding aid ) for the special collections of the Univ. Illinois Chicago library (ca. 1969, p. 1). Though dated, the aid has some useful information about the extended Haldeman(-Julius) and Addams families.〕 In 1932 she was a delegate to the National Convention of the Socialist Party of America〔(MarxistHistory.org ).〕 and that same year Emanuel ran for Senate on the Socialist Party ticket.〔J.G. Gabe and C.S. Sullivant, ''Kansas Votes: National Elections, 1859-1956'' (Univ. Kansas, 1957), (p. 92 ).〕 Marcet and Emanuel had two children, Alice (1917-1991) and Henry (1919-1990) and adopted a third, Josephine (b. 1910). "In 1933 the couple legally was separated but continued to live in the same house",〔Kansas Historical Society, Kansapedia, ''sub lem''. "(Marcet and Emanuel Haldeman-Julius ), 2004."〕 though she "spent a lot of her time at the () family farm in Cedarville."〔Julie Herrada, "Emanuel Haldeman-Julius", ''The New Encyclopedia of Unbelief'', (p. 375 )〕 Marcet died of cancer in Girard in 1941 and is buried in Cedarville, Illinois. Her epitaph is a paraphrase of the one W. K. Clifford wrote for himself: "I was not, and was conceived. I loved, and did a little work. I am not, and am content."〔Clifford ended his with "and grieve not." Photograph of Marcet's stone, taken by K. Cochran, (here ).〕 Her papers are held at Bryn Mawr,〔College Library, Canaday Special Collections - Archives, BMC.M123; see (here ).〕 Pittsburg State University,〔Leonard H.
