"The Mormon Pioneers, having brought little or nothing with them, were dependent for the necessities and comforts of life upon what they could do with their hands. Thus were organized 'Female Relief Societies' in every Mormon settlement, the objects of which were to teach the poor to provide for themselves and to establish institutions and programs which would assist the poor to live more comfortably and those not so poor to live more frugally." [Author] This chapter consists of the narratives of many women who aided in the settlement of Mormons and establishment of communities.
