About Aimee Semple McPherson
Aimee Semple McPherson, also known as Sister Aimee, was a Canadian-American evangelist and media celebrity in the 1920s and 1930s. She is best known as the founder of the Foursquare Church.
McPherson has been noted as a pioneer in the use of modern media, especially radio, and was the second woman to be granted a broadcast license. She used radio to draw upon through the growing appeal of popular entertainment in North America and incorporated other forms into her weekly sermon performances at Angelus Temple.
