George Tuttle Brokaw was a wealthy man. He also was more than 20 years older than Clare. They were married in 1923 and had one child – a daughter. However, her husband had a problem with alcoholic drinks. Their marriage ended after only six years. Clare developed a serious interest in writing. In 1930, a friend, the magazine publisher Conde Nast, offered her a job. She wrote comments for pictures published in Vogue, a magazine for women about clothes and fashion. A short time later, she accepted a job at other magazine, Vanity Fair. She wrote reports about social events and famous people in New York. Later these reports were published in a book.
