Clara Phillips (born Clara Anne Weaver, June 23, 1894 – 21 June 1969), nicknamed the Tiger Woman, was an American showgirl and chorus girl who, in 1922, murdered 19-year-old bank teller Alberta Meadows based on rumors that her husband, Armour L. Phillips, had been having an affair with her. Phillips' crime was described as "brutal" and "remorseless" by many local and national news organizations, which extensively covered her trial, subsequent escape from prison, and recapture.
