Julia Chester Emery: Being The Story Of Her Life And Work is a biographical book written by Margaret A. Tomes. The book chronicles the life of Julia Chester Emery, a prominent figure in the Episcopal Church and the Women's Auxiliary. Emery was born in 1852 and grew up in a wealthy family in New York City. She became involved in the Women's Auxiliary in her early twenties and quickly rose through the ranks to become the first woman elected to the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church.The book details Emery's tireless work for the Women's Auxiliary and her efforts to expand its reach and influence. She was instrumental in establishing the United Thank Offering, a program that encourages Episcopalians to give thanks for their blessings by making monetary donations to support various church projects. Emery also worked to improve the education and training of women in the church, and was a strong advocate for women's suffrage.Tomes' book draws on a wealth of primary sources, including Emery's personal papers and correspondence, to provide a detailed and engaging portrait of this remarkable woman. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Episcopal Church, the Women's Auxiliary, or the women's suffrage movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
