Pepi Litman was born around 1874 in Skvyra (or Skvira), a town then part of the Russian Empire and now located in the Kyiv Oblast of modern-day Ukraine.
She gained fame for her where she performed as a male Hasidic Jew, wearing a long black coat ( kapote ), sidelocks ( peyes ), and traditional head coverings. These performances were highly satirical, often poking fun at strict Orthodox gender roles and bureaucracy, earning her the nickname "chansonette in Khosidic trousers".
