  • Relief Society's Golden Years: the Magazine
    Relief Society's Golden Years: The Magazine Jean Anne Waterstradt UJ MOTHER WAS AN ENTHUSIASTIC, devoted member of the Relief So- ciety—the old Relief Society, the pre-block-meeting-schedule, pre-Correla- tion Relief Society. She belonged to a Relief Society that LDS women chose to join by paying a small annual membership fee; that had its own meeting day and its own budget; that organized bazaars; that sponsored Singing Mothers choruses; that published its own songbook; that held its own conference each autumn in the Salt Lake Tabernacle; that built its own headquarters in Salt Lake City on the southeast corner of Main and North Temple Streets; that published its own magazine. For my mother, who, I think, was a typical member, the Magazine was indispensable because it was a tangible reminder in her home of all that Re- lief Society offered and accomplished. And, this magazine had an influence beyond its Relief Society constituency. For example, my teacher, friend, and colleague Ralph Britsch has written that when he was a youngster, the women whose names appeared on the masthead of the Magazine and as au- thors of various features "ranked only a little lower in my mind than the General Authorities." The context for his remark was a memoir honoring Alice Louise Reynolds, a BYU professor, a member of the Relief Society General Board, and an associate editor and then editor of the Maga- JEAN ANNE WATERSTRADT is professor emerita of English, Brigham Young University. Currently residing in Ogden, Utah, she is happily associated with the Friends of the Stewart Library at Weber State University as well as with the Ogden School Foundation.

  • Preaching the Gospel of Church and Sex: Mormon Women's Fiction in the Young Woman's Journal, 18894910
    Preaching the Gospel of Church and Sex: Mormon Women's Fiction in the Young Woman's Journal, 18894910 Rebecca de Schweinitz. IN 1889, UTAH NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS informed their audiences about the start of a new monthly magazine, the Young Woman's Journal (YWJ). Initiated and first edited by Susa Young Gates, the daughter of Mormonism's second prophet, this journal, directed to girls and young, unmarried women in the Latter-day Saint (LDS) church, was to contain "the most elevating ideas of the Daughters of Zion."1 The YWJ published poems, stories, and articles, written overwhelmingly by women. It ana- lyzed "great" books like Anna Karenina and discussed topics such as women's health, suffrage, and marriage. The YWJ reveals both similari- ties and differences in the experiences and attitudes of Mormon women and women nationally, and it shows that LDS women were concerned about promoting their church and their sex. 1. Woman's Exponent 18 (1 September 1889): 55.

  • EDUCATION in ZION We Move Forward Faithfully Into the Future Only by Understanding Our Past
    EDUCATION IN ZION We move forward faithfully into the future only by understanding our past. Our founding stories reveal to us the higher purposes for which our forebears strove, and help us know the path that we should follow. Come unto me … and learn of me. —Matthew 11:28–29 I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world. —Ether 4:12 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. —John 15:5 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. —John 10:11 Feed my lambs. … Feed my sheep. —John 21:15–17 As Latter-day Saints, we believe Christ to be the Source of all light and truth, speaking through His prophets and enlightening and inspiring people everywhere. Therefore, we seek truth wherever it might be found and strive to shape our lives by it. In the Zion tradition, we share the truth freely so that every person might learn and grow and in turn strengthen others. From our faith in Christ and our love for one another, our commitment to education flows.
