Zion's Hope gathers the little-known life stories of pioneer midwives and women physicians who served early Utah and the surrounding territories. From Patty Sessions, who delivered nearly 4,000 babies, to Martha Hughes Cannon, America's first female state senator, these women crossed the plains, defied Victorian norms, and answered every call for help—day or night, paid or unpaid. Written by a certified nurse midwife, this collection celebrates faith, sacrifice, and selfless service, honoring foremothers whose devotion helped build Zion.
- Meet the woman who delivered nearly 4,000 babies—and the former slave who walked west and became one of Los Angeles's wealthiest philanthropists
- The forgotten foremothers who founded Utah's first hospital and health department
- Utah once had one of the highest proportions of female physicians in the world—here's why
- Written by a working certified nurse midwife honoring the women who came before her
Perfect for an LDS woman interested in pioneer heritage, women's history, or midwifery who enjoys short inspirational biographies of faithful foremothers.
