The Church’s historical narrative SAINTS revealed how women were encouraged by Joseph Smith & other leaders to offer blessings of healing and support. Yet this practice came to an end, under John Taylor it seems. Does anyone know when/why/how women giving blessings stopped?

Excellent article.
Priesthood keys (stewardships) are rarely the same. The Lord establishes and grants stewardships that fit the person, couple, leader, or counselor. Look for roles and stewardships that expand the whole rather than those that produce a fake equality.
Eve stands face-to-face with Adam in her saving and progressing role -- but not as a duplicate of Adam. Discover your feminine potential rather than looking for sameness.

I'm glad that it was brought out that Eve did not receive the commandment to not partake of fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. She was not around, in any of the accounts, when Adam received the commandment, and it was Adam who "fell, that men might be."
I love this article's perspective on Eve!

I love this perspective and have also been studying the role of Eve and the way Hebrew is so expressive of nuanced meaning. Even the little bit of Hebrew I have learned is wonderful!

Thank you for that insight! Loved it... and feel there is more to come just as you said. Line upon line, it's amazing to see how the Melchizedek Priesthood keys found in the temple, keys of the knowledge of God, are bringing forth these truths. Our knowledge is expanding.
