I know what you're thinking, "But wait isn't Oscarson and that southern lady in the RS presidency?" Well they were, but they got shuffled around a bit apparently. Now they are over the YW.

Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson- She's given 5 GC talks. I know she's said plenty of stuff that has pissed me off, but I can't remember any specifics just right now. Red Ryder, I seem to recall she is not one of your faves, is she? Her bio is super short and says basically that hubby was an MP in Sweden and then later they were temple president an matron of the temple in Sweden. She did go back to school to finish her Bachelor's, which I think is admirable.

Sister Carol F. McConkie - I think I started calling her Female Bruce last time. And I kind of like her (as much as I can kind of like someone from the COB that is) She's not afraid to come up with ideas of her own. She doesn't just quote the brethren or tell lame stories. Here is the only kind of interesting thing from her bio:
During her youth and childhood she lived in Delaware, New York, and Arizona, USA. She graduated from Arizona State University in English Education where she met her husband, Oscar W. McConkie III. They were married in the Mesa Arizona Temple and now have seven children and 24 grandchildren.
Sister Neill F. Marriott - I do actually like her. Just a snippet from her bio:
Neill F. Marriott was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana, USA. She attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, USA, where she earned a degree in English along with a teaching certificate. At the age of 22, she was converted and baptized into the Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. One year later she married David C. Marriott in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of 11 children and 26 grandchildren. 
She gave a talk back in October 2015 about her daughter passing away. I feel a sad but strong connection to her.

Do they pick the relatives of past Church leaders to fill the women's leadership positions or something?
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Do you think these women get paid? And is it worse if they or if if they aren't?

I wondered that too. When Eyring's pay stub was leaked, I wondered if the RS presidency was at least making 79% of that per the standard gender wage gap.

They had better get the $120,000 /year allowance or I would be mad. I wonder if they get paid less and when mormonleaks broke that all the men get a big fat check they were insulted.

Oh, good question. That is... if they even let themselves look at those leaks. My guess is they do not.
