“Young Womanhood Recognition,” Young Women Personal Progress, 75–84
“Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young Womanhood Recognition Award and wears it with pride! Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity.”
President Ezra Taft Benson
13th President of the Church, 1985–94
(“To the Young Women of the Church,” Ensign, Nov. 1986, 84)
