The well-educated daughter of a successful Boston family, she joined the Women's Educational and Industrial Union of Boston in 1886, became a director in 1890 and its president in 1892. In 1892, she joined with Mary Kenney O'Sullivan to form the Union for Industrial Process. Kehew served as the League's president until 1913, then as acting president and board chair until she died in 1918.
When O'Sullivan and others formed the Women's Trade Union League in 1903 in Boston, its first president was Kehew. Jane Addams served as the first vice president.
Kehew worked with and supported many other reform and philanthropic efforts, including Simmons College, the Denison House (a Boston settlement house), and work with the blind. She preferred to work behind the scenes, avoiding public speeches and appearances.
