In 1842, the Saints were working hard to build the Nauvoo Temple, and a small group of women wanted to help in the effort. The Relief Society was organized in Nauvoo, Illinois. A great deal of effort went into the compilation of this book because church leaders, both male and female, felt it would be a wonderful strength for Mormon women today. This history has recently been compiled into a beautiful book called Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society. The history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often referred to as the “Mormon Church” by those of other faiths) would not be complete without recognizing the influence and support of the Relief Society and thousands of amazing women who served quietly and faithfully.
