152. Using Friction to Grow
from Unleashing Sister Saints Hosted by Dr. Susan R. Madsen, Global Expert in Women's Leadership
I recently finished a powerful new book titled Using Friction to Grow: Stories of Strength & Resilience—LDS Women 1968–1976, written by my friend Robin Ritch. A year or so ago, Robin told me she felt inspired to interview a group of women whose lives didn’t fit the traditional mold of “Mormon womanhood” in the 1970s and 80s. I love that she followed that prompting. The way she wove together their stories—sometimes in fragments, sometimes in themes—creates a tapestry of insight that is both honest and deeply hopeful. As I read, several passages stayed with me. These womenexperienced real friction—within society, within the Church, and within themselves. Yet they chose to stay, to wrestle, and to grow. I want to share a few excerpts that especially resonated with me and offer some reflections along the way. I highly recommend this book!
