Impressions of a Prophet:  Joseph Smith

24: The Relief Society – A Monument to Women


Listen Later

In this episode Susan tells us the story of the origins of the largest female organization in the world, the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The original idea from some women in Nauvoo was to create a benevolent society (common in that time). Eliza R. Snow was asked to write up a constitution for it, which she did and then took to Joseph Smith to review. He responded by saying the Lord had something better for them, that would be organized not as a society of man (women), but under the priesthood itself and after its pattern.

Susan then tells us the story of and takes us through the largest memorial to women in the world, the Women Memorial Garden in Nauvoo.

We hope you'll follow us through this amazing account and gain from the lessons Susan draws from the story and the memorial garden. Thanks for being with us!
