When her daughter asked why girls can't pass the sacrament, she choked out an excuse. "Women get to partner with God in bringing life into the world," says author and mother-of-five Mary Magdalene Smith. She was baptized by a man when she was nine; he would later baptize her as well. Women have our role and men have theirs, but it's time for women to feel comfortable doing their part too, writes Smith.
