To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I do not claim to understand, or even accept, polygamy, but I have discovered it was a real issue for our early Relief Society sisters. Frankly, I have been avoiding this topic for a while now, but feel I have some interesting information to share that may shed some light on the subject. I personally […]
Here’s another interesting article from the Women’s Exponent. Things really haven’t changed at all over the years. GIRLS, KEEP GOOD COMPANY Girls, make it a point of your everyday life to choose your companions. It matters not how poor and uneducated you may be, if you will, you may always be choice of your associates. […]
Under the direction of President Spencer W. Kimball, a meeting was called where all women twelve and older gathered together on September 16th, 1978. You can find his addresses compiled in a talk called, Privileges and Responsibilities of Sisters. There were so many good parts to this talk, I had to share it with you. […]
Mormon women still seek their place in society. The world has dominated our direction, pulling us to think a certain way. It is important to understand the Lord’s way. It is my opinion that Eliza R. Snow got it right. She was the “Presidentess-Prophetess of the nineteenth century”. For twenty years she captained Utah women […]
The Suffrage Movement began in Seneca Falls, New York, in the year 1848. Women wanted to be heard and entrusted with societal decisions. Eventually, the 14th Amendment would be the object to be achieved: “No State shall…abridge the privileges…of citizens.” Women’s groups throughout the nation set their eyes on the territory of Utah, figuring all […]
It is so amazing to me that the sisters who helped settle the Salt Lake Valley, and organize the Relief Society, which we all benefit from, were so strong, determined, progressive, pro-active, and innovative. Mormon women were judged unfairly by women of the world. Polygamy was misconstrued. It was assumed that Mormon women needed to […]
It is my experience that when the Priesthood is discussed, women tend to go to sleep. They don’t feel the need to “get it” because they do not feel personally involved. I felt that way once, but now I see just how involved women are with the Priesthood. These quotes just skim the surface. Our leaders have been […]
Our prophets really have spoken to us. We just forget what they’ve said. I occasionally go through lds.org searching for particularly appropriate talks that might be significant to us as Women of God. Be sure to check my References Page where I list the talks that I find. I find many of my quotes from […]
Is anyone else feeling concern about our government and economic situation? I hear lots of people anxiously say, “What’s going to happen to us?” Of course, I’m concerned too, but my pat answer is, “We should be happy to be surrounded by so much corruption and despair; it only means the Lord will be here […]
I think all of us loved Sis. Hinckley, and her no-nonsense way of saying things. I miss her. Back in 1999, in the Marriott Center, the three wives of the First Presidency and their oldest daughters shared stories about their lives. I have never laughed so much to hear Sis. Hinckley read off of a bunch of index […]
