It's a year old but I would love to hear your review. I missed a chance to see her speak in my area.

KK, that catty mfkr bashed her on Facebook.

haven't read it yet.

I guess McBaine is the moderate wing of the Mormon women's movement. So the hardliners don't like her. Or think she is just an apologist.

No, most hardliners (like Joanna Brooks) are fine with her. KK is just a b*ch.

I just listened to her on a podcast. Notes:

* She is sweet and pleasant. Very stark contrast with Kate Kelly.
* Women did not stop laying on of hands until 1920s.
* Take every opportunity to expand women's roles within the current framework.
* If the handbook is silent, it's permitted.
* Do things on a local level until orders are issued top-down.
- Have young women bring bread to church, so the bishop can thank them on the pulpit.
- Have wives sit with apostles in General Conference.
- Have pictures of of general primary president on walls, so the primary can know who their leaders are.
- Be creative!

I like this. Out of the last 4 Bishops I have had, I would expect maybe only 1 out of 4 to be receptive to this strategy. As in only one guy might do it, but he very well might not.

Let's say I was Bishop. I would be receptive to this. But I think I would have significant doubts that it would be well received by the other members. Much less stake leaders and the like.

btw, where is her podcast?
