Dr. Lori Motzkus Wilkinson unites the grief-born power of Doctrine and Covenants 138 with the forgotten writings of early Relief Society voices, showing how Joseph F. Smith’s vision overturned the “curse of Eve,” affirms women as among the “great and noble ones,” and issues a hope-filled call to temple and family history work.
