Clémentine Delait, French Bearded Lady

Clémentine Clatteaux Delait (March 5, 1865 - Apri 5, 1939) was a French bearded lady. Her facial hair began growing while she was a teenager. In 1885, she married a local baker, changed her name to Delait and opened a café and bakery in the village of Taon-les-Vosges. Until that point Clementine had shaved off 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 Delaits' café and they changed the name to Le Café de La Femme à Barbe (The cafe of the Bearded Woman). Her fame spread and she received invitations from as far away as America, but Clementine was a devoted wife who refused them all to remain with her husband who was in ill-health. 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. When her husband died in 1928, Clementine finally accepted invitations to visit the famous Paris funfair, La Foire du Trone and travelled abroad to London and Ireland. No photographer credited, 1910s.
