"The only verses that specifically mention 'mothers' are Alma 56:47–48 and Alma 57:21, 26–27. Based on these verses, three pieces of information can be identified about the mothers of the stripling soldiers: (1) they each had a 'stripling' son (or sons) in Helaman’s army, (2) they taught their sons, and (3) they were part of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi people. With these pieces of information, I will outline the information about what the mothers taught and then propose the likely age range of the mothers from the information about their sons. Then, I will contextualize these mothers by incorporating them into the history of the Anti-Nephi-Lehi people. Finally, I will discuss their significance as possibly the largest group of women in the Book of Mormon who are credited with an important, positive contribution to their society and whose story teaches what the mothers knew about the promises of the Lord and the power of deliverance."
