Clare Jaynes

Clare Jaynes was a combined pseudonym of Jane Mayer and Clara Spiegel.[1] They are most well known for Instruct My Sorrows, a novel used as the basis of the film My Reputation.

In 1953 the Wilson Library Bulletin described her as:

brown-haired, brown-eyed; she is five feet three inches tall, and is of German-American ancestry. She was born in Kansas City, and again in Chicago the following year. She attended Vassar for one year, and was graduated after completeing a four-year course at Vassar. And, although she already had a husband whom she married in 1923, she was again lawfully married in 1927. She has two children, also also three, and her home is in two of Chicago's northshore suburbs about a mile apart.[2]

- making the dual nature of the authorship clear.
