In my opinion (Emilee):
I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I enjoyed reading the stories of faithful women born between 1846 and 1870. The only problem I had was when I got hooked to an individual and grew to understand and love her, the chapter ended. But, each individual woman had their own story to tell which was exciting.
I was especially inspired by Maud May Babcock's story of how she changed a man's life by her example. We can touch lives by being an example and showing love. Although we may not change a person, we can be their inspiration through a simple act of service.
What is our role as women and mothers? Can we have an influence for good? Absolutely! We are the nurturers and we have the power to bind our homes in love. Through the examples of these marvelous women, I know we can be like them as we continue to be faithful. We will have many trials and tribulations in our life but we can get through them and become stronger.
