The Women of Mormondom

"The Women of Mormondom" by Edward W. Tullidge is a historical narrative from the 1800s that tells the stories of women in the Mormon faith, with the goal of showing the importance of their work and how they overcame many problems along the way. Tullidge seeks to explain the honor and respect these women deserve, especially since they were often misunderstood, by sharing their experiences as they helped to build their religion. The book begins by focusing on the mistreatment that Mormon women have suffered over time, and Tullidge asks readers, especially women in America, to fairly consider their stories. It’s about understanding their lives as important figures and leaders in a new religious movement. The chapters that follow give individual stories and explore important ideas about the women who were central to the Mormon community.
