Another female favorite from early Church history, Mary's spunky nature and undaunted faith is an enduring inspiration.

Mary was Hyrum Smith's wife, and the mother of the future prophet Joseph F. Smith. Her independence in besting the leader of her wagon train and beating him to Utah, despite all her challenges, is a fabulous story. I also appreciate that when her home was preserved and moved to This is the Place, they put it off by the lake since she had also chosen to live away from the main body of settlers in Salt Lake. Barbara Smith wrote a lovely piece about this home nearly thirty years ago, which is found online here.
I would give Mary a chance to elect a female president.
