To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
“I was assigned to visit a woman who had been active in our ward, but was going through some very difficult medical problems, compounded by family issues, and everything became too much to deal with and she stopped coming to church and would not allow anyone to visit her. I knew her vaguely, and was […]
The Women’s Exponent, published for 65 years, by women in the Relief Society, was never a chuch publication. When Emmeline Wells, editor and chief, retired, she hoped the church would take over her publication and continue this excellent form of communication among the women.

The three most memorable activities for me were: 1) we had a small activity about cake […]

The Women’s Exponent is full of articles about the greatness of women. I don’t think we can talk too much about the subject. Too many women still think they don’t have much to offer in this world. And there are women who think they are so amazing, they deserve more than what they’re given. We […]
