Abstract

Dr. Clara C. Lelievre was the first woman to pass the Alabama CPA Examination and a long-time faculty member at the University of Cincinnati. Through her teaching, she inspired many doctoral students, men as well as women, to take an interest in accounting history, social accounting, and diversity (especially gender issues and work life balance) in the profession. Through her classes and her work with the American Woman’s Society of CPAs and the American Society of Women Accountants, she influenced many young women to go into the accounting profession. As a prolific author publishing in The Woman CPA, she served as an exemplar to other women accountants. She influenced the formation of the Gender Issues and Worklife Balance Section of the American Accounting Association.
