Especially notable is her careful balancing of official pronouncement with first-person accounts, including those taken from her own oral history interviews. - Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, author of A House Full of Females: Mormon Diaries, 1830-1870 Sister Saints is marvelous. In the hands of Colleen McDannell, one of our leading interpreters of American religion, the history of twentieth-century Mormon women shines. Too long reduced in the popular mind to silent sufferers, modern Mormon women are revealed here in their complexity as leaders and innovators, feminists and antifeminists, mothers and marchers, intellectuals and homemakers. Essential reading for Mormon history, women's history, and American religious and cultural history. - Patrick Q. Mason, Howard W. Hunter Chair of Mormon Studies and Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, Claremont Graduate University Colleen McDannell's illuminating book makes clear how big a part women played in Mormon history. The story is never complete without them. Everyone who wants to understand where contemporary Mormonism is coming from will need to read this clear-headed, even-handed account. - Richard Bushman, author of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling From Emmeline Wells to Neylan McBaine, from Fanny Stenhouse to Sonia Johnson, Sister Saints offers a probing and deeply insightful survey of the last century of Mormon women's history. McDannell's ability to situate the tradition within a larger story of American social change is testimony to her talents as a historian as well the vibrant and elastic nature of Mormon women's lives. An indispensable resource. - Laurie Maffly-Kipp, Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Washington University in St. Louis From Emmeline Wells to Neylan McBaine, from Fanny Stenhouse to Sonia Johnson, Sister Saints offers a probing and deeply insightful survey of the last century of Mormon women's history.
