"No matter who believeth, these signs, such as healing the sick, casting out devils, etc., should follow all that believe, whether male or female. Respecting females administering for the healing of the sick he further remarked, there could be no evil in it, if God gave His sanction by healing; that there could be no more sin in any female laying hands on and praying for the sick, than in wetting the face with water; it is no sin for anybody to administer that has faith, or if the sick have faith to be healed by their administration.

WOMEN AND THE LAYING ON OF HANDS
Interesting - I am sure I must have read this in TPJS before my mission, because I taught this very thing to the Sisters in my Zones - but never in front of the Mission President as he was more of a purist than I am:
Makes complete sense because the women hold the spiritual priesthoods of a family and the man holds the physical. There are multiple instances in church history where women laid hands on people to heal them.
