women, like the men, can choose to serve a mission
EDIT: men go at 19 or anytime after - women go at 21 or anytime after.

The big myth...women in the LDS faith stay home and are pregnant all the time..actually most of them now a days work for a living.
Yes they can go on missions at age 21 for 18 months.

If they want they can when they are 21. I didn;t want to. We dont just stay home and make babies, not that there is anything wrong with that. I finished college before getting married and started my career. I am 28 with baby #2 on the way and I work part time. Not much different than my non-LDS friends.
*Oh and for Mesquite, we have no issue with birth control. It's the Catholics who dont believe in using birth control. I use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy when we arent trying. Dont post information when you dont know what you are talking about.

they can go on a mission if they want to, but generally they get married and stay at home and make babies instead. If they don't get married right away they can go on a mission when they're 21 (the age for men is 19)

Yes. I served Jan 1991 to July 1992 in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission. I went to Jacksonville Arkansas, Southaven Mississippi, Jonesboro Arkansas, and Memphis Tennessee. I went door to door and loved every second of it (well, not every second, but I did enjoy it a great deal). I am a working mom right now, because my husband is too sick to work, so he takes care of our little monster. I wish I could stay with him all the time, because I miss so much, but that is probably what a lot of working dads think as well.

Of course they do. When they reach the age of 21, they have the option to go, or not to go on a mission.

Yes they do, if they choose to.
My Wife serve a full mission, got married with wonderful me,

She can choose to work when ever she wants, but she loves being a homemaker.

Absolutely. Many women serve as missionaries and they are usually more effective than the elders. Sorry guys, speaking from my own mission experience... :-)

Yes. I was a missionary in Puerto Rico after graduating from college.
