Relief Society
In the early days of the Church, mormon history shows that two women got together to see how they could help the men who were responsible for building the temple. They ultimately decided to form a society which came to be called the Relief Society, and they elected Emma Smith as their president. When they sought approval from Joseph Smith, he commended them for their efforts and prophesied that the society would grow and become much more than they had even dreamed. Today the Relief Society is one of the largest organizations of its kind and helps women all over the world. That is the power that women in mormon history have had.
