DESCRIPTION:The Nordic Book Club will host a virtual discussion of "Power\, Passion\, and Faith\," a biography of Emmy Evald written by her great-granddaughter\,&nbsp\;Sharon Wyman.\n\nThe club is sponsored by the&nbsp\;Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center at Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø.\n\n"Suffragist\, social equity advocate\, church leader\, friend of feminist luminaries Susan B. Anthony and Jane Addams\, Emmy Carlsson Evald tore through her four decades of life like a whirlwind ¡ª and changed the world\," said Dr. Ann Boaden\, retired Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø professor of English. "In this brisk new biography\, Wyman draws on unpublished family papers as well as historical documents to present Emmy as both private and public person. &nbsp\;\n\n"Wyman¡¯s style\, clear\, energetic\, richly detailed\, aptly reflects her great-grandmother. Her story of triumph and sorrow will engage readers new to Emmy and long-time fans alike. It¡¯s a valuable contribution not only to Swedish-American scholarship and the history of the Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø Lutheran Synod\, but to feminist studies as well."\n\nÅ·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø renamed Carlsson Hall dormitory as Emmy Carlsson Evald when the building was renovated and re-opened as an academic building in 2008.&nbsp\;\n\nEvald was critical to the hall's construction in 1928. When the need to provide housing for female students was recognized in the early 1920s\, her Å·ÖÞ±­ÍøͶ_Å·ÖÞ±­ÍâΧapp-Ͷע¹ÙÍø Women's Missionary Society raised most of the money to build what first was known as the Woman's Building.\n
