Brigham Young organizes the Young Ladies' Retrenchment Association among his daughters at the Lion House. Aside from the Relief Society, this is the only other church auxiliary organized by the church president at its outset. Renamed the Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association, its first president is Elmina Shepherd Taylor in 1880. Renamed the Young Women's MIA, it is now known simply as Young Women.
