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 groundbreaking series recounts the stories of women in Church history, often in their own words, as they share their trials, triumphs, and testimonies. Volume 1 features women born between 1775 and 1820 and samples the lives of both well-known women and previously obscure ones whose lives of faith also deserve emulation. They were first-generation Latter-day Saints who experienced the characteristic trials of their day, including abandonment by family or friends when they joined the Church, persecution after joining, and the hardships of pioneering again and again as they moved from one location to another.
