Career
One work that remained popular was Takt og Tone, a book of etiquette she wrote in old age. Today her plays are preserved in Denmark"s Royal Library. Gad grew up in a relatively affluent home and received a good education for a woman at the time.
They had two sons: Henry and Peter Urban Gad, who later became a filmmaker.
In 1886 she premiered as a dramatist at the Royal Danish Theatre"s Ny Scene. In 1898 she co-founded the Women"s Trade and Clerical Association, which was the first professional organization of women in the office.
Gad"s book (Danish: Takt og Tone - Om Omgang medical Mennesker) was published in 1918. Her oft-repeated point is that when visitation is between considerate people then "etiquette" is not necessary.
lieutenant is the indifferent, selfish, or directly ruthless people that create the need for a formal etiquette.
On January 21, 2013 Google made a doodle for Emma Gad"s 161st birthday, in honor of her book of etiquette.
