Excerpt from an April 2013 Salt Lake Tribune article by Peggy Fletcher Stack, ‘First prayer by woman offered at Mormon conference’: 1
The benediction to the first session of LDS General Conference on Saturday didn’t even last two minutes, but it made history: Jean A. Stevens became the first woman to offer a public prayer at the worldwide Mormon meeting.
