“Some weeks ago I received a letter from a sweet young girl from Colorado asking, ‘Sister Kimball, since the Church stresses so the importance of a woman’s role as wife and mother, do you think it is necessary to have a college education?’ You may be sure that I sent her a very detailed letter of the importance of all the education that a woman can acquire.”

-Camilla Eyring Kimball, spouse of Spencer Woolley Kimball, 12th President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
