Part of the Biographies in Latter-day Saint History series. Emmeline B. Wells 1828-1921 was born in Petersham Massachusetts. She served as the fifth General President of the Relief Society a position which she held for 11 years. When Emmeline B. Wells took on this public role she was 82 years old- an age when most men and women have been long retired. Not only was she was a wife and mother but she was also a prolific writer and a proponent of women's rights particularly during the woman suffrage movement in the United States. Brigham Young University professor emeritus of history Carol Cornwall Madsen writes in her article Emmeline B. Wells: A Fine Soul Who Served Ensign July 2003 "By the end of the 1870s Emmeline was considered one of the 'leading sisters' of the Church. Her association with the Exponent had made her name well known in Latter-day Saint circles and her written contributions to eastern women's papers refuting the misconceptions about LDS women had brought her name to the attention of national suffragists. She reminded the readers of these papers that Latter-day Saint women could vote when most of them could not; that LDS women were educated at local colleges and were engaged in many professions including medicine and law when most other women were not; and that they headed their own organizations and contributed to the economic welfare of their communities.
