Elizabeth Haven Barlow: An Early Latter-day Saint Woman and Her Autobiography (1811–1892)

Elizabeth Haven Barlow (28 December 1811 – 25 December 1892), born in Holliston, Massachusetts, was an early Latter-day Saint whose autobiography preserves a first-person witness of the founding generation of the Church. She is among the women featured in the Church Historians' Press volume 'The First Fifty Years of Relief Society,' and her own account records her conversion, her life among the early Saints, and the gathering to the West. Her preserved testimony is a faith-promoting reminder that the Lord has had faithful daughters from the very first days of the Restoration, and that their voices—kept in their own hands—are a treasure of the Church.
