Ruth Ann Baldwin

American film director, editor, and screenwriter (1886–)

Ruth Ann Baldwin was an American journalist who became a silent film writer and director active during the 1910s, making her one of the first female directors in America. Unfortunately, as is common with many women filmmakers in the 20th century, there is little known about her aside from her 31 writing credits and 12 directing credits from 1913-1921. Most of Baldwin's films were destroyed in the 1924 fire at Universal Studios.
