“We have had two days of meetings on this block. This house has been filled with women of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered here, representing the stakes and missions of the Church. They represent the oldest women’s religious organization in the world. They came, not on a sight-seeing trip, but to worship, and to be instructed. They came here to the house of the Lord knowing that if they were assembled under proper conditions, they would be blessed. their two days of mingling and rejoicing together have prepared the way for this other great general conference.” – George Albert Smith, October 1948

This is a beautiful admission of the value that women contribute in their organization and participation. Annual meetings were the time for the leaders to manage the Relief Society throughout the world, instead of a opportunity to have them quietly sit and receive wisdom from men.
