Summary
After the 1872 publication of Exposé of Polygamy, Fanny Stenhouse become a celebrity in the cultural wars between Mormons and much of America. A well-educated, sophisticated English convert, she after her 1859 arrival in Utah grew disillusioned with the Mormon Church and polygamy. She addressed the emotional and material hardships and the psychological and moral dilemmas polygamy presented to the women compelled to accept it.--[book jacket].
