"From this historic pronouncement made by Brigham Young evolved a society that has become immense, not only in numbers, but in scope of achievement. And while the early program stressed a study of the gospel, the Church works and good literature - as it still does - it now also reaches into nearly every field of activity. President Brigham Young's aspiration for young women in 1869 remains a beacon light for them today; that they adhere to the principles of righteous living; that they observe modesty in dress and manners; that they gain knowledge and develop their talents; in short, that they improve in everything that is good and beautiful." [Author] This chapter covers the history of the development of the Young Women's Mutual Improvement Association.
