LDS Church Museum Exhibit Commemorates 150th Anniversary of Mormon Women's Organization SALT LAKE CITY-National Womens's History Month will be celebrated in March, 1992. The Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City will use the occasion to kick off a unique exhibit ex-hibit highlighting the interest and accomplishments of women over the past 150 years. The exhibit focuses on members mem-bers of one of the nation's oldest and largest women's organizations, organiza-tions, The Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints. Entitled "Come Let Us Rejoice: A Sesquicentennial Celebration of Relief Society 1842-1992," the exhibit opens on March 13, 1992, commemorating the 150th anniversary of The Relief Society which was estab lished on March 17, 1842 in Nauvoo, Illinois. The Exhibition follows the development of women from the pioneer era of the mid-1800's, through the turn-of-the-century, two world wars, and into the expanded ex-panded world view the Relief Society enjoys today. The exhibit comprises a collection col-lection of paintings, sculpture, photographs, artifacts, memorabilia, quilts and countless count-less handmade items, each telling part of the history of this distinctive distinc-tive women's group. Most items are accompanied by a descriptive text. From its inception the Relief Society has aimed to improve the lives of its individual members and their communities. The women were active in the suffrage suf-frage movement, in the legislative legisla-tive process, in social work programs and in public health efforts. ef-forts. One display focuses on the Woman's Exponent, a Relief Society publication which became the first women's newspaper west of the Mississippi. First published publish-ed in 1872, the Exponent was a women's forum where, through reports, letters, poems, and essays es-says women shared their ideas and opinions concerning the events of the time. The women's suffrage movemet in the United States was important to the Relief Society. With documents and photographs the exhibit follows the development of this women's crusade in the West, as Relief Society leadership participated in the founding of the National Council of Women (NCW) and the Women's Suffrage Association of Utah. Women in Utah Territory actually cast the first female ballots bal-lots in the nation. And in 1896 Dr. Martha Hughs Cannon became be-came the first female state senator elected in the United States. On display in this section of the exhibit is a dress worn by women's suffrage pioneer Susan B. Anthony. Latter-day Saint women made this dress of Utah-produced Utah-produced silk as a gift for Anthony's 80th birthday in 1990. The dress is on loan from the Susan B. Anthony House in Rochester, New York. The exhibition catalogues the Relief Society's concern with public health issues, particularly as they concerned women and children. Photographs from the late 19th and early 20th century document the Relief Society's efforts ef-forts to train community health care providers, which were rare during that time. Sponsored by the Relief Society, many women were sent East for medical training. train-ing. When they returned to Utah they practiced medicine and taught nursing and midwifery classes supported by the local Relief Societies. Using funding collected by women, the Relief Society established estab-lished two maternity hospitals in the 1920's one in Utah and one in Arizona. A typical maternity room circa 1920 is replicated for this exhibit cabinet filled with medical supplies, and a completely complete-ly outfitted doctor's obstetrical bag from that era. Scattered throughout the exhibition ex-hibition are more than a dozen hand-made quilts. Today quilt- ingis considered an art form, but it has also been an important part cf women's efforts to provide for the needy throughout the Relief Society's 150th year history. The Relief Society's motto is "Charity Never Faileth" and the organization is dedicated to benevolent Christian service. A portion of the exhibit chronicles the group's work with national and international relief efforts following both world wars. Similar efforts continue to the present day, with ongoing church-sponsored international Emmeline B. Wells, Editor of the WOMAN'S EXPONENT. Emmeline B.
