Canadian author, Nellie McClung, worked tirelessly to improve the existence not only of women and children but of men as well.

"The Church must renounce the idea that, when a man goes forth to preach the Gospel, he has to consider himself a sort of glorified immigration agent, whose message is, 'This way, ladies and gentlemen, to a better, brighter, happier world;  earth is a poor place to stick around, heaven is your home."
His mission is to teach his people to make of this world a better place !~ to live their lives here in such a way that other men and women will find life sweeter for their having lived."
