A House Full of Females

Phenomenal, compelling account of some of the women who built the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and established a meaningful place for themselves within a polygamous, patriarchal culture (sometimes by resisting and rejecting it, but just as often by defending it and making it work for them). Ulrich brings her subjects to life, drawing primarily on their own diaries and allowing these too-often-forgotten women to speak for themselves.
