The women of Mormondom.

By Edward W. Tullidge

Amid the deserts of the 1800s Utah Territory, a different kind of frontier was being carved: the spiritual lives of Mormon women. Their voices rarely reached print. The Women of Mormondom, Edward W. Tullidge's classic Mormon history book, gathers vivid LDS women biographical sketches and narrative portraits of faith, sacrifice and conviction. Moving through the earliest years of the movement and into the settlement of the American West religious communities, Tullidge records women in early Mormonism as organisers, poets, leaders and plural wives, setting Mormon polygamy and women within the wider sweep of 19th century religious history and early LDS church history. Figures such as Eliza R. Snow and sisters in faith stand alongside lesser-known heroines, creating one of the earliest sustained stories of LDS pioneer women, invaluable both for LDS history students and for women's studies readers interested in agency, belief and community on the frontier. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This careful modern edition returns a foundational document of women's experience in the American West to accessible circulation, appealing equally to curious general readers, scholars of religion and the American frontier, and collectors seeking an authentic voice from the nineteenth century.
