BLANCHARD, Miss Helen Augusta
Inventor Helen Augusta Blanchard was born in Portland, Maine on October 25, 1840. She was the daughter of a wealthy shipowner and businessman. When her father's business failed and he eventually died in 1866, Helen took to patent development and monetized her inventions. Over the course of about 40 years, Helen patented 28 inventions including the zig-zag stitch sewing machine. In 1876, she founded the successful Blanchard Over-Seam Company of Philadelphia.
The May 1, 1913 Washington Evening Star noted: "One of the most important patents granted during the centennial year was an overseaming machine which has become invaluable to manufacturers of knitted fabrics and of various articles of ready-made clothing. It was invented by Miss Helen Augusta Blanchard, who established a large company in Philadelphia."
After living in Philadelphia, she moved to New York City. She passed away in Providence, Rhode Island on January 22, 1922, and was buried in her home of Portland, Maine.

MCAVOY, Miss Emma
<p><span>Emma McAvoy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 23, 1841. Author and lecturer are the occupations listed at the beginning of her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile, but Miss McAvoy's career included other professions. </span><br /><br /><span>Like many women of her time, this daughter of an Irish immigrant began her career as a teacher. In April of 1859, Emma was appointed as a <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88077413/1859-04-12/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=7&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teacher</a> in Cincinnati's Third District with a salary of twenty dollars. Her salary may have been low because she was hired in April, since she is listed as having earned <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84028745/1860-06-30/ed-1/seq-3/#date1=1789&index=15&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three hundred dollars </a>the next year. Later, Emma served as a principal in Kansas City, Missouri. </span></p>
<p><span>Upon her return to Cincinnati, Emma began to deliver lectures. Her </span><em>A Woman of the Century</em><span> profile notes: "She was one of the first women who presented parlor lectures on literature in the West" (481). </span><span>On February 11, 1879, </span><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025759/1879-02-11/ed-1/seq-4/#date1=1789&index=1&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1924&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Cincinnati Daily Star</em></a><span> advertised one of her upcoming lectures: </span><span>"Miss Emma McAvoy will deliver, at College Hall, on the evening of the 28th of February, an evening lecture on the subject, 'The Ode and Errors in Conversation.'" Other lectures over the next two years were on <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025759/1878-10-14/ed-1/seq-1/#date1=1789&index=4&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Sonnet, with Hints for Improvement in Conversation,"</a> and <a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85025759/1879-11-08/ed-1/seq-5/#date1=1789&index=6&rows=20&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&words=Emma+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&date2=1917&ortext=&proxtext=&phrasetext=Emma+McAvoy&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"The World's Conversationalists."</a> <br /><br />As a popular figure on the lecture circuit, Emma often received praise in the press. For example, a week before her 1884 speech in Omaha, Nebraska, <em><a href="https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1884-11-18/ed-1/seq-8/#date1=1860&sort=date&date2=1919&searchType=advanced&language=&sequence=0&index=4&words=lecture+McAvoy&proxdistance=5&rows=20&ortext=&proxtext=McAvoy++lecture&phrasetext=&andtext=&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Omaha Daily Bee</a></em> advertised:<br /><br />"On next Monday evening, November 24th, Miss Emma McAvoy will lecture on the subject, 'Hints for Improvement in Conversation.'

AMES, Miss Julia A.
<p>Julia A. Ames, a gifted editor, orator, and temperance reformer, was born in Odell, Illinois, on October 14, 1860.

Carse gave Julia the nickname "Yolande," after she noted Julia's similarity to the heroine of an 1883 novel by William Black (<em>A Young Woman Journalist</em>, 39).<br /><br />In addition to her efforts on behalf of temperance reform, Ames wrote for the <em>Chicago Inter-Ocean</em> and edited the <em>Union Signal</em>. She was a member of, and later the president of, the Woman's Temperance Publishing Circle of King's Daughters.</p>
