Opis

Sister Saints offers a sweeping history of modern Mormon women-a story that is much more complex than stereotypes suggest. Colleen McDannell shows, with keen insight and narrative flair, that Mormon women have long been critically important in creating, maintaining, and transforming their faith.

Recenzje

Colleen McDannell's newest book, Sister Saints: Mormon Women since the End of Polygamy, unearths the diverse lives of modern Mormon women to demonstrate the complex ways that women navigate their spiritual lives in the face of a constantly changing cultural context. By placing the history of women first, rather than as a supplement to the history of male leadership, McDannell takes the study of Mormonism in new directions and invites future scholars to do the same.
