About Us
Welcome to the Mormon Women Website!
About This Site
The purpose of this site is to provide a place for people to both enjoy and to share uplifting content about Mormonism and Mormon womanhood. We celebrate personal, faith-based, creative expression through a variety of media. Content is constantly changing, so we invite you to return often!
This site is unique in that it is not a blog where free discussion takes place. But there are various ways for people to participate, and we welcome contributions that are consistent with the site’s goals, which are to share and explore life, faith, and womanhood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Mormon Women Website is not an official site of the Church, but we strive to keep the site consistent with its doctrines and purposes.
Following are the features of the site:
Library
We have compiled links to Church talks, articles, hymns, and other resources for you to browse. Browse by topic or by media type.
You can contribute to the library by sending links or references to your favorite Church resources to ‘mormonwoman’ AT ‘gmail’ DOT ‘com’

Who Runs This Site?
This site is sponsored by the More Good Foundation, and is managed by a group of Mormon women who desired to have a place both for people to share and to learn about Mormonism and Mormon womanhood. We also wanted it to be a place where faith-based creative expression can be enjoyed and celebrated. For contact information, please see our Contact Us page.
More About “Who We Are”
We as women of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are a diverse group. We live all over the world, speak myriad languages, and live with different opportunities and challenges. But there are some principles and truths that bind us together, and this site is designed to share and explore those uniting elements in our lives.
Several years ago, the female leaders of the Relief Society (the organization for women within the Church, focused on faith, families, and relief) created a document called the Relief Society Declaration. This document describes well Who We Are and who we strive to be.
Please also enjoy our site’s theme song after which the site was named (written and generously made available for this site by Tammy Simister Robinson). We chose this song because we feel it reflects the power, purpose, and joy we feel in our lives as Mormon women. Words to the song are reprinted below.
Who We Are
We are beloved daughters of God;
Born of His Spirit, blessed by His love.
Serving the Lord with purpose and strength;
Women of vision, virtue, and faith.
Chorus:
This is who we are:
Sisters in Zion.
This is who we are:
Seekers of light.
This is who we are:
Women of Christ,
Daughters of God.
This is who we are.
Women of wisdom,
Teachers of truth,
Keepers of covenants,
Guardians of good,
Partners in promise
Woven as one;
Seeking eternal treasures beyond.
(Chorus)
Bringing nobility to motherhood,
Finding joy in womanhood,
Unified through sisterhood.
Steady and right,
Holding the rod,
Rising in light,
Standing with God!
This is who we are:
Sisters in Zion.
We are
Seekers of light.
This is who we are:
Women of Jesus, our Savior,
Daughters of God.
This is who we are.
Women of vision, and virtue and faith.
This is who we are!
