A new book from the Church Historian’s Press featuring 52 of Eliza R. Snow’s most powerful and timeless discourses reveals the breadth of her service and leadership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Rise Up and Speak: Selected Discourses of Eliza R. Snow is available on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
The book is one of several publications from the Church Historian’s Press on women’s history. Rise Up and Speak will become a part of the Gospel Library app in 2027.
Snow was a key figure in expanding women’s participation and leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ during the mid- to late 1800s. She was a writer, organizer, temple worker, and advocate for women.
Elder Kyle S. McKay, General Authority Seventy and Church Historian and Recorder, called Snow “an elect lady” and a “remarkable woman” during a press conference at the Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
“This is a woman who, time and time again, accepted the call. ... I’m thrilled to be part of this day when we can shine the light on her life and sermons,” he said.
