Introduction to the Series
Although approximately 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 are just beginning to receive the
attention they merit. This series, Women of Faith in the Latter Days,
aims to enhance awareness of these women through inspirational accounts
written for a general readership.
The seven volumes projected for the series will be arranged as
follows:
Volume 1: Women born between 1775 and 1820
Volume 2: Women born between 1821 and 1845
Volume 3: Women born between 1846 and 1870
Volume 4: Women born between 1871 and 1895
Volume 5: Women born between 1896 and 1920
Volume 6: Women born between 1921 and 1945
Volume 7: Women born between 1946 and 1970
Within each volume, the chapters are arranged alphabetically by
the last name of each woman of faith.

or clarify when necessary for readability. We have silently added
