| Summary |
"The Women of Mormondom" by Edward W. Tullidge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book aims to portray the lives and contributions of women within the context of Mormonism, highlighting their roles in establishing the faith and navigating the challenges they faced. Through their narratives, Tullidge aims to advocate for the dignity and respect of these women, who have often been mischaracterized. The opening of the work establishes the tone and focus, emphasizing the persecution faced by Mormon women throughout history. Tullidge's preface calls upon his readers, particularly women of America, to understand these women's stories from a perspective of righteousness. He outlines a thematic exploration of their lived experiences, positioning them as both spiritual leaders and pioneers of a new religious movement. This sets the stage for the chapters that follow, which delve into individual accounts and broader themes related to the women who composed the heart of the Mormon community.
