Emma Wolf (June 15, 1865 – August 30, 1932) was an American litterateur and novelist. She published early in life and was the author of five novels. Wolf was born with a congenital defect and spent part of her life in a wheelchair.
She was educated in the public schools of San Francisco, including the Girls High School, as well as the Teacher's College. A physical disability kept her from becoming a teacher.
Her first novel, Other Things Being Equal (Chicago, A. C. McClurg, 1892), focused on the present-day social life of the American Jew, with the lesson derived being that other things being equal, a Jewish woman may marry a Christian. It affirmed the morality and peace of Jewish homes. A Prodigal in Love (New York City, Harper, 1894), again set in San Francisco, was a successful novel telling the story of home perplexities. This was followed by Joy of Life (New York City, A. C. McClurg, 1896), the story of two very different brothers. Heirs of Yesterday (Chicago, A. C. McClurg, 1900) was described by Adler & Szold (1906) as "an interesting novel in which the force of tradition upon the Jew and the prejudiced attitude of the Christians are the underlying motives". Wolf's last novel, published in 1916, was entitled Fulfillment.
Emma Wolf died in San Francisco, on August 30, 1932.
