A stunning and sure to be controversial book that pieces together, through more than two dozen 19th-century diaries, letters, albums, minute books, and quilts left by first-generation Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, the never before told story of the earliest days of the women of Mormon "plural marriage", whose right to vote in the state of Utah was given to them by a Mormon-dominated legislature as an outgrowth of polygamy in 1870, 50 years ahead of the vote nationally ratified by Congress.

Great History
Reviewed: 08-13-17
This was a cool book, no question. While I disagree with some of the author's interpretations, most often as they relate to the feelings, motivations, or intelligence of various historical figures, her research, compilation and synergy of documents is outstanding. I walk away with a broader, deeper, more nuanced view of Mormon polygamy and the political/social/religious environment where it took place. As far as the recording, I'd have appreciated more effort going into the cultural/correct pronunciation of Mormon nouns. Over all, a great read! Great buy!
