To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society

As I have studied all of the presidents of our organization, in this dispensation, I have been struck with how much they accomplished in the areas they were specifically designed to manage.

The Young Women’s organization began as the Cooperative Retrenchment Association in November 1869. President Brigham Young organized the society in the Lion House, his official residence in Salt Lake City, with his daughters as charter members.

We’ve had a little time to digest the new Handbook. All of us can look at it, because it’s online at www.lds.org. I think it’s significant that it’s available to all of us. We are all expected to be active members of this Church. Understanding “The Church Plan” allows all of us to get involved […]

After the Pattern of the Priesthood LDS women, who want the Priesthood and think they should have the Priesthood, don’t […]
March is the birthday month of our organization. I hope everyone is considering reviewing a part of our Relief Society history as your celebration. Mormon Times is publishing an article, written by me, each week of this month (March 2011), commemorating the Relief Society. I hope you’ll take a look. Starting last week, the articles […]
If you were to look up the word Suffrage in the dictionary, you would see that the word means “the right to vote.” A Suffragist was one who desired to achieve this privilege, and a Suffragette was a negative label put upon those who took things a step further and wanted equal rights.
