Never heard of her. Well on September 1, 1878 she became the first woman telephone operator
in America.
She loved the job and spent 33 years before retiring. This special day celebrates the world of telephone operators, whose postion has been eliminated by automation.
For many decades, it was a very important part of American life.
On a side note, according to Emma, she was "very thankful that my first name was not Imma"
