Emma Booth-Tucker
From Sawiki
Fourth of the family of the Salvation Army founders, Emma Moss Booth entered the service of the Army in 1880 with charge of the first training work for women in London. In this position she markedly influenced the lives of hundreds of the Army's most successful women officers.
She established in London the work, already instituted in the north, which later developed into the Army's Slum Operations.
In 1888 she was married to Commissioner Frederick Booth Tucker and with him pioneered the Salvation Army's work in India. Later, with her husband, she was Joint Foreign Secretary at International Headquarters.
From 1896 until her promotion to Glory in October 1903, the Cosul was at the forefront of the Army's work in the United States of America.
