New Book About Mormon Women

kimi · #1 (**permalink**) 04-28-2008, 07:43 PM

Dear Sisters,
I am writing a book about what it means to be an LDS woman in America. I feel that we are so misunderstood. Most people see us as mousy women who do as they are told and have no voice for themselves. This is not who we are. We are strong women who are full of faith and happiness and it is time our voice was heard. This is meant to be a positive book that shows the “bright” side of being an LDS sister. I would like this to be about many women, not just myself. I would like to approach the following topics (I am also open to suggestions): Marriage, The Priesthood, Working, Word of Wisdom, Sex, and Children. If you would like to tell your story please respond to this post or e-mail to kimi@teacher.com. Tell me who you are (first name and location) and your views on any of the various topics. Thank you for your support and input.

Great book idea..I would buy it for sure. Your views on submission to your husband and how that looks in your family..your commitment to your family and your roles in the church would be of interest to me.
