Women of God
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 […]
Temple Family
Going to the temple makes the soul feel so good. We had a particularly good session where everyone was helping one another. I love that. The temple workers assure you there is no rush, and everyone is patient and helpful. I also love seeing all the various nationalities represented in the faces of all […]
Virtue-Activities
Here are some ideas you might consider as you teach the value of Virtue: 1) Challenge everyone to find something to walk out on: a movie, a bad song, a gossip conversation, etc. 2) Clean out your closet of immodest clothing. 3) Shop for modest swimsuits—ask the store manager to order some modestware. 4) […]
Personal Progress-Virtue
At the most recent Young Women’s Meeting, Sis. Cook challenged ALL women to fulfill the Personal Progress requirements for the value VIRTUE. The pamphlet is free at the Distribution Center (you could probably get one from your ward Young Women’s President). The definition of Virtue tends to be very nebulous. When the Young Women leaders […]
Saving Souls With Our Work
When Joseph Smith said, “The best measure or principle to bring the poor to repentance is to administer to their wants. The Ladies’ Relief Society is not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls” , the women understood their first responsibility as they organized themselves for the work of Relief Society. Yes, as […]
Saving Souls With Our Words

These words from Joseph Smith: “As females possess refined feelings and sensitiveness, they are also subject to overmuch zeal, which must ever prove dangerous, and cause them to be rigid in a religious capacity—[they] should be armed with mercy, notwithstanding the iniquity among us.” Women are the most compassionate humans on the earth. We have […]
The Woman Question is About Virtue
The Mormon women, who first lived in the Salt Lake Valley, were persecuted for their devotion to polygamy. To us, polygamy is pretty distasteful, and we avoid the subject. But to them, it was their lifestyle, their belief, and their choice, and they wanted the world to just leave them alone. In the Dec. 1, […]
The Intellectualization of Women
Another article found in the Women’s Exponent (1878), gives us an idea of the times our sisters were living in. Mormon women wanted the right to vote all for the purpose of keeping their freedom to live in polygamy. They felt this lifestyle, not only came from God, but allowed them freedom to become their […]
The Integrity of Ruth
I found this interesting article written by “Aunt Em” (Emmeline B. Wells) in the Women’s Exponent (Nov. 15, 1878). A couple of things you need to know before you read on. Emmeline was very vocal in her role as editor of this paper. Her opinions were very strong, but more importantly, she was a spokesperson […]
