I am no scholar, but I do admire women and men who are. 24 very thoughtful essays on their lines of interest and religion. I was impressed with how each woman was very determined and talked about how they turned to the Lord for inspiration and felt led, sometimes a step at a time. These are brilliant women, most wives and mothers, who still found time to be successful and raise families.

I wish all my LDS friends could read this book of essays from faithful women scholars and leaders. It’s powerful and beautiful and refreshing.

Inspiring collection of essays by dedicated, brilliant and inspirational women.

This is a treasure of a book, full of insight from Latter-day Saint women who share how their scholarship informs their faith (and vice versa). I loved all the different perspectives offered. We need more books like this that center the views of women, and we need men to make it a priority to read them as well.

A beautiful collection of essays by educated, religious women. I was so inspired by the way they actively choose faith and logic--that they can hold both in their hands.

I could not love this book more. Of course some essays resonated more than others, but collectively they offer a really beautiful, hopeful look at Latter-day Saint faith, doubt, scholarship, and community.

Absolutely beautiful compilation of essays on how women of faith live both their faith and their profession with diligence and candor. I read and savored each of the essays. Knowing it was one of Kate Holbrook’s last projects makes it even more meaningful.
