For generations latter-day prophets have extolled the noble role of womanhood. Leaders often tell of the wonderful contributions that the women in their lives have made both inside and outside the home. From rearing a faithful posterity to demanding and defending rights in the halls of Congress, Latter-day Saint women have been and continue to be a powerful influence for good in shaping the destiny of future generations. With this book we celebrate noble women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with one hundred inspiring biographies of LDS women who have accomplished the extraordinary, leaving an indelible mark on history. These are stories about life, love, and a remarkable determination to do one's best — messages that reveal to the reader that neither happiness nor greatness is found in compromising self, but instead is found in reaching to a higher source. By reaching up, these women have reached out to make a valuable difference.ContentsMaude AdamsLindsey AndersonKaren AshtonMaud May BabcockJenny Oaks BakerAlgie Eggertsen BallifFlora Amussen BensonJane Johnston BlackEdwina BoothTorah BrightJuanita BrooksAngela “Bay” BuchananClaudia Lauper BushmanAriel BybeeCherie CallBeverly CampbellElaine CannonMartha Hughes CannonErin ChambersWynetta Willis Martin ClarkMartha Jane CorayVirginia CutlerLaraine DayDonna Stringham DewberryLiriel DomicianoChristine Meaders DurhamMary Ellen EdmundsKimberly FletcherRuth May FoxMary Field GarnerSusa Young GatesRachel Ivins GrantShannon HalePaula HawkinsDrusilla Dorris HendricksMarjorie Pay HinckleyAlice Merrill HorneFlorence JacobsenVienna JacquesJane Elizabeth Manning JamesJane Clayson JohnsonLucile JohnsonBarbara Barrington JonesArdeth Greene KappCamilla Eyring KimballSarah Granger KimballKing SistersHannah Tapfield KingGladys KnightLucy Jane (Jennie) Brimhall KnightEttie LeeMary Elizabeth Rollins LightnerAmy Brown LymanAnn N.
