Emma L. Shaw
About
Emma L. Shaw (June 1840 – February 1924), an American Nonconformist, was a tailor and a farmer before becoming a juvenile literature book editor and associate editor of Good Health in Battle Creek, Michigan. In about 1870, Shaw began her literary work in Michigan. With her friend, Ella Farman, Shaw purchased a small farm near Battle Creek and here, for several years, Farman wrote juvenile books that were edited by Shaw, and published by D. Lothrop & Co. In 1875, Shaw and Farman began editing Wide Awake in their sitting-room. The growing needs of this periodical caused the editors to move to Boston, but Shaw soon returned to Michigan and became a charter member of the Michigan Woman's Press Association. She worked on several journals published by the Good Health Publishing Company of Battle Creek, where she was an editor for many years.
