"The Church... is more committed than any religious institution I know of the the dignity and standing and worth and merit and glory of a woman," says Elder Jeffery R. Holland. "Now we need to do better, everybody needs to do better... to make sure that that dignity comes through."

With simple and familiar doctrines, religious scholar C. Robert Line shows that Latter-day Saint women are of great worth, they do indeed participate in the priesthood , are given priesthood authority, and can fully access the priesthood power here in mortality. He explores the central issue of women and the priesthood in  three parts:

• Women's relationship to the priesthood as declared by scriptures and latter-day prophets and apostles
• The doctrine of equality, the principle of gender roles, and divinely appointed priorities
• The temple experience as it relates to the priesthood here and in the eternities

Through these doctrines and principles, the Lord not only shows his love and concern for women but also prepares them for their divine role in the eternities.
