Emilia Louise Baeyertz (née Aronson; 29 March 1842 – 26 April 1926) was a Welsh Christian evangelist, born to a devout Jewish family in Wales, who described herself as "the Christian Jewess".
She was home schooled due to her poor health and suffered a breakdown when her fiancé was diagnosed with tuberculosis.
Her family sent her to Australia to live with her sister to help her recovery, where she fell in love with and secretly married an Anglican Christian man. Baeyertz did not intend to convert to Christianity when she married him, but she subsequently did for the sake of her children.
Her husband died as a result of a shooting accident in 1871, whereupon she experienced a full conversion to Christianity.
She spent the following few years giving sermons and, by 1879, she was featured speaker for a YWCA campaign of sermons, before spending a decade conducting Christian missions around Victoria. Between 1890 and 1904, Baeyertz conducted missions around the world, starting in New Zealand, then spending a few years in the US and Canada, before returning to the United Kingdom and Ireland.
