Sister Saints: Mormon Women since the End of Polygamy By Colleen McDannell
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
Saints, Polygamy, review
Because of its freshness and clarity, I predict that Colleen McDannell's Sister Saints, a history of modern Latter-day Saint women, will become a standard in religious studies courses and perhaps in book clubs among Latter-day Saints as well. It is unquestionably a "crossover" book. General readers will appreciate its lively stories and well-balanced arguments, and students at any level will profit from its detailed endnotes and chapter-by-chapter bibliographic essays. The book is fair-minded but never wimpy. It will provoke discussion in and out of the academy.
