Emma Churchman Hewitt (1850 Ð 1921) was an author and journalist. Most of the information about her life survives in Frances Willard and Mary A. LivermoreÕs A Woman of the Century (1893), which includes a brief biography of Hewitt. In 1884, Hewitt became a journalist for the Daily Evening Reporter of Burlington, New Jersey, where she worked until the publication shut down. In 1885, she was solicited by the publisher of the LadiesÕ Home Journal to write a series of articles under the title ÒScribblerÕs Letters to Gustavus Adolphus.Ó The next year, she began working as the associate editor of the LadiesÕ Home Journal, which also published many of her articles about etiquette and the home. Her book Ease in Conversation (1887) was initially published in the LadiesÕ Home Journal as a series of articles titled ÒMildredÕs Conversation Class.Ó She was also a contributor to LippincottÕs Magazine and about a dozen other publications. Hewitt later served as an editor of the Home Magazine in Washington, D.C., and contributed to the Philadelphia magazine Leisure Hours. 4 x 6 ." 40 pp. With eight color plates.
