Welcome to Daughters of the Restoration

Hello Blogosphere!!

We believe that there can never be enough feminist blogs on the web, especially ones that connect Mormonism with feminism, and so, we’ve brought you another one! Daughters of the Restoration is a blog written by a handful of young Mormon women. We believe that feminism and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, support one another. We are here to facilitate and encourage dialogue with one another as we explore questions regarding the relationship of religion and feminism. While we emphasize the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the LDS community, we hope that our discussions will be inclusive of men and women in all religions. By analyzing them together we expect to discover new ways of thinking about the social and cultural world we live in. We are deeply interested in all issues related to women ranging from politics to breastfeeding to historical accounts of suffragettes to female pioneers. Not only do we have a lot we want to share with you, but we need you to participate in the dialogue we are trying to create. You may contribute to this very important conversation through your comments. We would also like to feature our author’s and their unique stories through full-length posts. We believe as we continue to be open with others and share our life’s experiences and stories we will be able to widen the area of discourse regarding LDS women and work towards a world of greater understanding and respect for all of God’s beautiful children. 

Although we are still working out the fine details and logistics of the blog, we hope you will visit often for new posts and insights into the lives of women. 

Below is a statement regarding our vision and goals for the blog. The vision and goals page will be located at the top of the blog for future reference.  ENJOY!

Our Vision:  


Our vision is to create an atmosphere conducive to the discussion of LDS doctrine in the lives of women: past, present and future.  We hope to engage in relevant, controversial topics and inspire women of our generation to recognize and wield the power that is innate within them. We sustain the power of the priesthood and modern revelation through our priesthood leaders and personal lives. We seek to be a resource for women who may have questions, concerns, or internal battles with these topics as we all seek to find our personal and global identity. We seek to unite women, by open conversation and working through issues together. We believe that we are daughters of God entitled to the recognition and privileges associated as children of deity.

Our Goals:

-        We seek to discuss Latter-day Saint doctrine as it pertains to women; all of our comments will be substantiated with quotations from the Brethren of the Church (modern and past), Prophets, and scholarly works.

-        We seek to highlight significant women of our past and the consequences their lives bring to our future.

-        We seek to revitalize interest and support for the Relief Society organization.

-        We seek to inform readers of Latter-day Saint interests and the Church’s position on prominent controversial issues.

-        We seek to promote an open and safe forum in which women from all walks of life, all religions, and all backgrounds may gather together and express their views and opinions about this sojourn we call life.

We discourage any conversations or discussions that may be disrespecting toward the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well as toward each other. We encourage mutual respect and understand that we are each created equally in the eyes of God, both male and female.


We are not affiliated with Brigham Young University or any organizations within it. Neither are we sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are independent of any organization and seek to remain so.


Get involved, we would love to hear from our readers and engage with your ideas and personal battles. Please e-mail us a draft of your post and we will review it for posting. (All posts will be held to the same standards as our editors. Please make sure they adhere to the goals and mission of our organization).
