Rose E. (Rose Emmet) Young

Rose Emmet Young was an American writer born in 1869 who built a varied career in journalism and fiction. She wrote editorial pieces and stories under several forms of her name, including R. E. Young, and her work appeared in major magazines of her day.

Her books included novels such as Henderson and Sally of Missouri, and she was also known for writing about civic life and public affairs. Alongside her literary work, she became an advocate for the woman suffrage movement, bringing her skills as a writer and speaker into political organizing.
