As the show opens, Carrie Chapman Catt gives this speech encouraging men to “let Mother vote.” She talks about how women have already contributed so much to the country through the men to whom they have given birth. She believes a “kind” approach is the best way to handle the men.  As I listen to this, I can’t help but think of J. Annette Dennis’ recent (infamous) talk “Accessing God’s Power Through Covenants.” The talk in itself could have been seen as monumental. She talked about Latter-Day Saint women having power and authority from God. This is something most Latter-Day Saints struggle to acknowledge. But, she also suggested that women may not need any more power, authority, or representation when she said, “There is no other religious organization in the world, that I know of, that has so broadly given power and authority to women.” This was met with significant pushback. To me, the current Relief Society Presidency does fight for change for women, just slowly and kindly, with a smile, and it’s simply not enough for many women. Recent Relief Society presidencies have talked about divorce, infertility, working women, and abuse, all deep, important topics. The key is: are they saying it so sweetly (and so infrequently, given how little of a platform they are given), that the general Church population is not listening?
