"Of all the words they could have chosen to define her role and her essence, both God the Father and Adam called Eve "the mother of all living"-and they did so before she ever bore a child. Like Eve, our motherhood began before we were born ...righteous women were endowed premortally with the privilege of motherhood. Motherhood is more than bearing children ...it is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us."
