The first annual Women's Studies Conference was held at Brigham Young University, November 3-5, 2011. The theme was "Women and Creativity."
-
The scriptures include many references to creative women. However, most of the results of women's creative efforts have been lost to history. But one form of women's ingenuity has survived: contained within the canon itself are several examples of women's sacred songs. Here, Smith explores some of these songs and explains that sacred songs have been a central venue for women's theological activity.
