We Love Stories of Census Women Making History
Around 1900 Emily began her career with the Census Bureau as a clerk. After 20 years and two censuses, Census Bureau leadership recognized Emily’s skills and promoted her as
the first (female) expert chief of a division in July 1919.
Emily was not only a tireless Census Bureau employee, but she was also a passionate suffragist. As early as 1914, she wrote letters to the Washington Times as a proponent of a woman’s right to vote and participated
in marches. In 1916, the Stanton Suffragette Club, an auxiliary of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, elected Emily as an executive member.
