Historical Note
Ann Boaden is a retired instructor in Augustana College's Department of English. Boaden collected these materials on Emmy Evald while researching female figures in Augustana’s history for her book, Light and Leaven: Women Who Shaped Augustana’s First Century.
Dr. Emmy Carlsson Evald served as president of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Augustana Synod from 1892 to 1935. Prior to this, she was actively involved in the woman suffrage movement and the Lutheran church, and she was honored worldwide for her efforts in support of women’s rights. In 1927, Evald and the rest of the Women’s Missionary Society donated $110,000 to construct the Woman’s Building, a new women's dormitory on Augustana’s campus. In 2008, the building was renovated into an academic building and named Emmy Carlsson Evald Hall in honor of Evald's involvement in its construction.
