Dave Hall writes about the experiences of Amy Brown Lyman in the early years of the 20th century when she studied social work and sought to bring more professionalism into the charity work done by the Church. President Joseph F. Smith firmly supported her work, but Susa Young Gates was reluctant to institute such changes in women's relief work. Later, with the support of much of the Relief Society board, Amy Layman was able to train people in social work and put them in wards and stakes, and to provide lessons on social work to the Relief Society. Hall concludes that as a result Mormon women found a new role in community affairs in the twentieth century.
