Do Mormons believe in equality of men and women?<br /><br />I have always been attracted by the enlightened view of women in Mormon doctrine, beginning with Eve as the heroine in the Garden story, having the faith and courage to make the conscience choice to begin this experience that would give us all the opportunity to ultimately reach greater heights.<br /><br />Mormon teaching and culture produces women who are well educated and dedicated to family. They are ambitious and self-organizing.<br /><br />Regarding equality, if anything I think the cultural norm in Mormonism is the view that women represent God's last and greatest creation, that women are naturally on the right hand of God, and that the men have the burden of the administrative priesthood in order to approach the natural inclination of women to care for and lift up others.<br /><br />For a historical answer the entry about the <a href="http://eom.byu.edu/index.php/Women%2C_Roles_of" rel="nofollow"> Role of Women </a> in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism is good starting point. <br /><br />For modern <a href="http://mormon.org/faq/#Women" rel="nofollow"> Mormon women answering this question themselves </a> the Frequently Asked Section on Mormon.org under Women is user generated content.<br /><br />You might also peruse the <a href="http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2011/01/15/feminist_obsessed_with_mormon_blogs" rel="nofollow"> mormon mommy blogs </a> that received national attention recently.David Stokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885859888162958520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684060505401259627.post-32411861853196684682011-03-23T02:33:03.021-07:002011-03-23T02:33:03.021-07:00Hello

Anybody'd be willing to tell me why more please ? <br /><br />I think that a woman is nevertheless really important for a society, non?<br /><br />Wish you a very good day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684060505401259627.post-89975650999213172322008-07-28T00:46:00.000-07:002008-07-28T00:46:00.000-07:00I agree wholeheartedly.
