"Jill Mulvay Derr got her first job as a researcher in the Church History Department at Church headquarters, locating and compiling the poetry of Eliza R. Snow; four decades later she retired from the department as a senior research historian. Derr notes the shift from the need to write about prominent women, who were not sufficiently recognized in the historical record, to exploring the personal writings of women. A major part of Derr's work has been on Eliza R. Snow. Eliza R. Snow was committed to being useful; for her, making a contribution equaled greatness. She was a poetess, having composed more than five hundred poems. Her spiritual gifts made her a prophetess. Her long-term involvement in temple ordinances led her to be called a priestess. And the term 'presidentess' covers her many administrative duties : organizing and presiding over the Relief Society and facilitating the launch of the Young Women and the Primary." [Publisher]
