A sensational and absolute to be controversial publication that pieces mutually, through more than two dozen 19th-century diaries, words, albums, minute catalogs, and quilts remaining by first-generation Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, the nothing you've seen prior told report of the earliest days of the women of Mormon "plural marriage", whose to vote in the point out of Utah was presented with to them by a Mormon-dominated legislature as an outgrowth of polygamy in 1870, 50 years ahead of the vote nationally ratified by Congress, and who became political actors regardless of, or because of, their marital plans. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, writing of this small band of Mormon women who've previously been seen as mere names and schedules, has brilliantly reconstructed these textured, complicated lives to presents us a fulsome portrait of who these women were and of their "sex radicalism" - the theory that a girl should choose when and with whom to bear children.
