Mormon feminism

Mormon feminism refers to efforts within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to promote gender equality and challenge traditional gender roles. Inspired by broader feminist principles, Mormon feminists advocate for increased women's involvement in leadership, decision-making, and spiritual practices, emphasizing dignity, respect, and fairness. While aiming to align with core religious beliefs, they seek reforms to address issues like gender imbalance in priesthood authority and church policies affecting women. The movement reflects a desire for women to have a more equal voice within the faith community, balancing their spiritual devotion with aspirations for equality.
