This well-loved copy of “Young Women Activities Volume 1” offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and experiences of young women in the early 20th century. Published in the 1920s, this book was likely a valuable resource for leaders of the Young Women’s Mutual Improvement Association (YWMIA), a auxiliary organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The YWMIA played a crucial role in shaping the cultural and social development of young women, providing a space for personal growth, leadership opportunities, and community building.
This volume, authored by Sabina H. Bigelow and Sabina Susan Bytheway, would have contained a treasure trove of activities, lessons, and guidance for YWMIA leaders to engage and enrich the lives of their young charges. From homemaking skills to intellectual pursuits, the book likely covered a wide range of topics deemed important for the well-rounded development of young women at the time. Despite its age and wear, this copy retains the essence of a bygone era, offering collectors and readers a tangible connection to the past and a glimpse into the evolving roles and aspirations of young women in the early 20th century.
