About

The Brigham Young University Library has collected many women's life stories and other materials related to women. This Guide is an index to women's collections housed in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections of the BYU Library. Collections may be small or large and include such items as biographies, autobiographies, diaries, letters, papers, etc. The Guide provides a short biographical sketch of each woman with an abstract that gives a description and content summary of their collection. It can be browsed by name or searched by name or topics. More entries are added to it on a regular basis.
