In 2001 a biography of Emma was published written by Edna Healey, though it has been criticised for attempting to give credit to Emma for her husband's ideas, whereas most other historians agree she had little, if any, scientific input.

The 2009 film Creation focuses in part on the relationship between Charles and Emma. Emma is played by Jennifer Connelly.

When that happens you will know that he has moved on from being a “newborn” and has got himself settled into life.”
