Join Kate Holbrook and Matthew Bowman, for a discussion and signing of their new book, Women and Mormonism: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives.
How have women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints experienced and expressed their agency? From personal and intimate relationships with husbands and family, to the female sphere of the Relief Society, to the sometimes empowering and sometimes fraught relationship with the church's male priestly leadership, this volume explores the diverse ways many different Mormon women—from the African American Jane Manning James to European Mormon women today—have understood the relationship between their faith and their personal agency.
This engaging and seminal volume employs vivid primary documents, candid surveys, and illuminating oral histories to explore the perspectives of Latter-day Saint women. Contributors include lay members and prominent scholars in multiple disciplines, including both LDS and non-LDS viewpoints.
Places in the signing line are reserved for those who purchase a copy of Women and Mormonism from The King's English.
