Book – Mormon Women Have Their Say

[Anonymous]

Edited by Claudia Bushman and Caroline Kline. It is a book of Mormon Women Essays based on the the Mormon Women’s Oral History Collection at Claremont.

Divided into 3 sections with 5 essays each. Part One, Life Cycle: Part Two, Life as a Latter Day Saint: Part Three, Relationships with the Institutional Church

Laurel Thatcher Ulrich’s review reads,

Quote:

Mormon women have always had a lot to say, but generation after generation, their voices fade away. The problem is not just that archives and manuals favor the writings of male leaders. The real problem is that few of us know how to listen to seemingly common stories. We revere our sisters but don’t understand them. The essays in this volume go beyond collecting and preserving to the hard work of interpretation. Using a variety of analytical techniques and their own savvy, the authors connect ordinary lives with enduring themes in Latter-day Saint faith and history
