This volume, the third in a series of seven, represents women born between 1846 and 1870. They lived in a rapidly changing world, and many experienced the expansion of opportunities for women, including the advent of mass communication and increased travel. In this volume, you will meet both leading and little known women, including general Relief Society presidents Clarissa S. Williams and Louise Y. Robison, as well as the wife of a Maori chief who migrated to Utah, a suffragist of national prominence who helped secure women's rights, a polygamous wife who supported her family as a pioneering photographer, and a southern Utah housewife who became he first mayor of an all-woman town council. The faith and determination exhibited in each woman's story, no matter how humble, offer inspiration and strength as we endeavor to live our own lives of faith today.
