Georgia Emery

She grew up in Galien, Michigan, where she would earn her first job, as a Latin teacher.

Her first business venture was into selling postcards, largely penny post cards to children.

Two years later, she was the Women's Department Massachusetts Life Insurance Company's first director.

The survey led to National Federation of Business and Professional Women being established.

Emery was heavily involved with the group, spearheading the effort to buy a headquarters.
