From the publisher's blurb, "Laurel Thatcher Ulrich coined the popular phrase, "Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History," in the 1970s. It was originally intended to shine light on the prior lack of scholarly attention given to women in history--particularly those who appeared to play by societal rules. Resonating with women worldwide, the phrase was soon culturally co-opted to bolster those who acted in unexpected and "rebellious" ways. But the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian continued to focus on women who affect change in subtle fashion. An active member of the mainstream LDS church, Ulrich is uniquely suited to weave together diaries, letters, ledgers, albums, and meeting notes to tell the stories of first-generation Mormon women." With 12 pages of full-color illustrations, and 52 black-and-white illustrations and six maps in text. Illustrated endpapers front and rear. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xxv [1], 2-484 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Ulrich, Laurel Thatcher.

A house full of females : plural marriage and women's rights in early Mormonism 1835-1870.

New York : Vintage Books, 2018. Paperback. xxv-484 pp. illustrations. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - A stunning and sure-to-be controversial book that pieces together, through more than two dozen nineteenth-century diaries, letters, albums, minute-books, and quilts left by first-generation Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, the never-before-told story of the earliest days of the women of Mormon ''plural marriage,'' whose right to vote in the state of Utah was given to them by a Mormon-dominated legislature as an outgrowth of polygamy in 1870, fifty years ahead of the vote nationally ratified by Congress, and who became political actors in spite of, or because of, their marital arrangements. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, writing of this small group of Mormon women who've previously been seen as mere names and dates, has brilliantly reconstructed these textured, complex lives to give us a fulsome portrait of who these women were and of their ''sex radicalism''--the idea that a woman should choose when and with whom to bear children.
