LDS Young Women resources available here on the SoftLore site, and elsewhere on the web, are listed below. If you know of other great lds resources that may benefit young women, please let us know about them.
Young Women Theme
Young women regularly recite the Young Women Theme to reinforce the truth of their divinity and remember their covenants as Latter-day Saints. Remembering the theme by heart helps each young woman take it to heart.
The Scriptorian Applet is a handy aid for those trying to learn the Young Women Theme. The theme is also include in the free Young Women Scriptorian study list.

Personal Progress
One of the primary purposes of the Personal Progress program is for young women to "learn and apply the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ". Towards this end, some young women have chosen, as part of their value experiences, to memorize scriptures or declarations such as The Family: A Proclamation to the World and The Living Christ, The Testimony of the Apostles. Scriptorian is the perfect tool to help young women meet such memorization goals.

For the Strength of Youth
Integral to the young women's program are the standards set forth in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet. The guidelines and counsel provided in this pamphlet is modern day scripture for the youth. Learning and remembering these standards is the first step towards living them. Using Scriptorian and the free For the Strength of Youth study lists (abbreviated or complete) is a great way to review and remember these important standards.

Scripture Mastery
Seminary participation will strengthen and broaden a young women's testimony and understanding of the gospel. When it comes to learning and remembering the seminary scripture mastery verses, there is no better tool than Scriptorian. All four years of scripture mastery verses are included with Scriptorian. The Scriptorian Applet is also available to help young women learn their scripture mastery verses.

"Ruby and I were up in Idaho for a short visit, and we met some people from Mountain Home, Idaho, the Goodrich family. Sister Goodrich had come to see us and had brought her daughter Chelsea with her. In part of the conversation that we were having, Sister Goodrich said Chelsea had memorized the proclamation on the family.
To Chelsea, who is now 15 years old, I said, “Chelsea, is that right?”
She said, “Yes.”
I said, “How long did it take you to do that?”
She said, “When we were young my mother started a program in our house to help us memorize. We would memorize scripture passages and sacrament meeting songs and other types of things that would be helpful to us. So we learned how to memorize, and it became easier for us.”
I said, “Then you can give it all?”
She said, “Yes, I can give it all.”
I said, “You learned that when you were 12 years old; you’re now 15. Pretty soon you’ll start dating. Tell me about it. What has it done for you?”
Chelsea said, “As I think of the statements in that proclamation, and as I understand more of our responsibility as a family and our responsibility for the way we live and the way we should conduct our lives, the proclamation becomes a new guideline for me. As I associate with other people and when I start dating, I can think of those phrases and those sentences in the proclamation on the family. It will give me a yardstick which will help guide me. It will give me the strength that I need."
