An English Woman in Utah: The Story of A Life’s Experience in Mormonism: Annotated

An English Woman in Utah: The Story of A Life’s Experience in Mormonism: Annotated

Fanny Stenhouse
4.2/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Fanny Stenhouse is a captivating raconteur. She recalls how, being a religiously slanted seeker, she became captivated with the so-called “new revelation” of Mormonism. Horrified and disbelieving when she first heard that some Mormons practiced plural marriage, she gradually came to tolerate it and suppress her own feelings of repulsion. Experiencing and witnessing the many problems caused by this practice, Mrs. Stenhouse and her husband eventually left the church. Recalling her time involved in the higher circle of Mormon leadership, she probes into the more bizarre facets of their theology. She details the everyday life of a plural family, and how the husband allocates his affection or lack thereof. She makes the case that this system undermines the institution of matrimony by giving many illustrations and examples of how polygamy is unnatural and degrading not only to women, but men as well. She presents a revealing view of this lifestyle without being offensive.
