Women of Faith in the Latter Days, Volume 1: 1775-1820

Although roughly half the people in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been women, their lives of faith and dedication haven t always received the attention they deserve.

This new, seven-volume series aims to enhance awareness of these women through inspirational vignettes. Each volume will contain approximately 50 ten-page chapters on women from all walks of life and from different periods in Church history. Each chapter will contain a photograph or portrait of the woman (if available), a brief biography, and an uplifting experience from her life. Today's women will feel connected to their spiritual heritage as they read about choices made by faithful women in Church history who came from many different backgrounds. As they come to know and love these women of faith, readers will feel that they are not alone in the challenges they face.
