To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Mormon women fought for suffrage, and this is their story. Several bills, in Washington D.C., were created to stop the Mormons from living in polygamy. Many national government leaders clearly wanted to rid themselves of the Mormons and their strange ways, particularly in the area of polygamy. It was believed women were being forced against their will, and […]
The Woman’s Exponent was started in the Salt Lake Valley. In the 19th century, it was one of three newspapers, written by and for women, in the west. It was never a church publication. Women used this newspaper as a forum to teach, motivate, and advertise to the local women such gatherings as Woman’s Suffrage, […]
I discovered a woman who lived back in the 1700’s, who has touched my heart. Her name is Isabella Marshall Graham. I invite you to google her. Her biography, “Power of Faith” will inspire you as it inspired me: Power of Faith She was born in Scotland in the year 1742. She received a good […]
I’ve heard many women say how petrified they are to bear their testimonies. Or women who apologize for saying what ends up being something very profound and beautiful.

What is the difference between our Relief Society and a Society organized by a bunch of women? With all the truth we have been flooded with, what are we, as women of God, doing with it? I have learned for myself this answer: We are in partnership with the men to bring exaltation to all […]
Do you have a Gift of the Spirit? Have you nurtured it, practiced it, used it for good? Many gifts of the spirit are listed in the scriptures, but I would guess there are more to be considered. I will begin the list, but I would like to see us all add to this list. […]
The Book of Mormon parallels the time of the restoration to the end of the Millennium or the celestialization of the earth. Book of Mormon Lehi – Father, Patriarch and had Vision of the Tree of Life Nephi – Younger son, Prophet, King or Governor of the land Mosiah I – Lead exodus to […]
The Church is in need of Senior Missionaries. Why aren’t more couples going out, do you suppose? Fear is probably at the top of the list. Women, who have never served a mission, might fear the unknown. Maybe they wonder what service of value can they provide. Can a single senior sister serve as well […]
