Written as a friendly appreciation of the character of Emily Carr (d. 1945), rather than her life, Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher's retrospective m.e. A Portrait of Emily Carr (1969) was described by reviewer Ian McNairn in BC Studies (Summer 1972) as "charming, easy-to-read, well-written." It contains edited versions of 20 letters written by Carr to her friend. The University of Victoria provides Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher scholarships to undergraduate or graduate female students registered in pre-medicine disciplines.
