How this page started

I have always learned best through stories. Seeing what others have done to cope with similar trials provides me with hope and inspiration. When I found myself graduating BYU with no dating prospects, I felt like a failure. With no plans and no purpose, I was confused and lost.

​

When I learned Mary Fielding Smith was 36 when she first got married, she instantly became my hero. I soon realized she wasn't the only one. There were many women in early church history who married later than would be expected for that time. 

​

And thus, this page was born. A compilations of women throughout church history who spent a considerable amount of time single. I hope these stories inspire you and remind you that there is so much good you can do in this world, with or without a husband.
