lt is fitting that a book on the subject of women be published at this time. There has never been a time in the world when the role of woman has been more con-fused. There has never been a time in the Church when women are able to do more to show what their true role in the world can and ought to be." So writes President Spencer W. Kimball in his introduction to this excellent publication, Woman.
Here are words of counsel and insight from fifteen General Authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, covering a variety of subjects of particular interest and concern to the Lat-ter-day Saint woman in this ever-changing and often confusing era. Woman's various roles as friend, companion, teacher, neighbor, and mother are discussed, demonstrating the scope of her influence in society and in the home. The book shows the heights to which today's woman can aspire, with the help of her Heavenly Father.
Among the words of wisdom found in this work are the following: "Mormon women in their true setting as handmaidens of the Lord are the freest women on earth. They have the greatest opportunity for self-expression and service to others of any women in the world." (Elder Mark E. Petersen.)
"Women have the seemingly innate ability to turn the harshness of our earthly existence into a world filled with softness, beauty, and tenderness. It is this influence upon our environment that brings evidence of heaven to earth." (Elder Rex D. Pinegar.)
Mothers have a sacred role. They are partners with God, as well as with their own husbands, first in giving birth to the Lord's spirit children, and then in rearing those children so they will serve the Lord and keep his commandments." (President Spencer W. Kimball.)
For a single woman making a life of learning and giving and loving, faith is not a definition but a condition of confidence in God, held in the mind and heart." (Elder Marion D. Hanks.)
A man can have no greater incentive, no greater hope, no greater strength than to know his mother, his sweetheart, or his wife has confidence in him and loves him." (President N. Eldon Tanner.)
From the beginning God has made it manifestly clear that woman has a very special place-a position that is clearly defined and articulated with regard to her destiny in the divine plan." (Elder James M. Paramore.)
Sisters, you must never give up. If you have faith enough and desire enough, you will yet have at the head of your home a father and a husband who is active and faithful in the Church." (Elder Boyd K. Packer.)
This is a day when serious, minded, clear, thinking women are needed to pro, mote a climate of peace, harmony, and righteousness in community life. Let such women work together to create an atmosphere in which the problems of our society can be resolved by reason, respect, and concern for all people." (Elder Marvin J. Ashton.)
Whether you are a woman, or are in love with one, you will enjoy this book!
