The Life She Chose captures the ambition and dedication of an independent woman in the late 1800s, while she witnessed the restrictive societal expectations for women striving to step beyond the traditional boundaries and pursue a career and a fulfilling life. Born in 1849, the last of eleven children, Emily Frances Wheeler was the daughter of an Erie Canal boat captain and sister to David Hilton Wheeler, a Northwestern University professor of English literature and history as well as acting president for two years. Upon graduating from Northwestern in 1875, Emily studied in Paris, Leipzig, Rome, and Heidelberg, while also holding teaching positions at several institutions of higher learning. She became a full professor at Northwestern in romance languages in 1893. At NW, she assisted in the organization of the University Woman's Club and worked with the Northwestern Settlement. Throughout her life Emily published over 100 stories, literary critiques, and essays, often promoting the independence and self-sufficiency of women and leading groups of young women on European tours. Her accomplishments included hundreds of speaking engagements in Illinois and California, where she retired and became an outspoken advocate for higher education for women and social causes and an active speaker in a prominent woman's club for over twenty years before her death in 1934, at age 84.
