To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
What Is Mormon Woman Ideology? I raise this question, because face it; it is always the question. The world pulls us in several directions, and our religion pulls us in another direction, and then we have to figure out where we stand. Life is so complicated! Or so we are made to believe… […]
Thoughts from October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference: I am not one of those Mormon women who want the Priesthood or thinks the Church needs to become more modern. I have a personal witness that both men and women have an assigned placement in God’s Kingdom. He laid everything out quite nicely in The Proclamation […]
Mormon women have a purpose on this earth. Heavenly Father has designed us to be wives, mothers, then women. Some women would have us believe Heavenly Father has it backward. The prophets foretold a long time ago that marriage would be under fire; that children would be in danger if left to their own devices; […]
Joseph Smith gathered the Mormon Women together telling them they had a great destiny to fulfill. The women were eager to gather together, help the poor, and enjoy temple blessings. When the Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers. By the following March, there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their […]

This is a record written by “Aunt Rhoda”, the sister of Willard Richards, the apostle, and first cousin of Brigham Young. She was born on August 8th, 1784, at Hopkinton, Mass., and leaves this record at the age of ninety-three: During the early years of my life I was much afflicted with sickness, but, through […]
When my children were small I thought it was terribly romantic to have an old-fashioned Christmas and leave a fresh orange in their stockings. I hoped they would feel the appreciation and gratitude of bygone years. It took me a while to figure it out, but the appreciation and gratitude finally came when I began […]
One of the first women’s rights demonstrations in United States history took place in 1870 in Utah Territory.
