Description:   It is the morning of July 1 1938 and New York City is just beginning to stir. For Emmy Evald it is a day of reckoning. Born the daughter of a pioneer preacher in 1857 in Geneva Illinois Emmy Evald grew up in the poor section of Chicago known as Swede Town. Despite her humble beginnings she became one of the most influential and remarkable Swedish American women of her day. Emmy began challenging the male-dominated church and social mores early on. Clear in her vision she established the Lutheran Woman s Missionary Society in 1892 raising more than $3 million which provided health care and education to women worldwide. A distinguished orator Emmy LED the charge on behalf of women s suffrage and marched with Susan B. Anthony to the US Congress in 1902. Her actions met with both victory and defeat. Some women felt a woman s place was in the home and resented her. Men tried to silence her spirit. But she was a force to be reckoned with one who never gave up on the fight for women s rights and social justice.
