Sisters in Spirit: Mormon Women in Historical and Cultural Perspective

Rating:
Summary: Historical Cherry-Picking
Review: A friend of mine once said that you could prove the existence of an Easter bunny by using the Bible. Pick & choose your facts, interpret them by running them through your curling iron, and there you have it: Mormon women have become the trodden-down in the male-dominated world of the Latter-day Saints. It's history tailor-made by self-styled liberal Mormon women who try to flatter themselves by posing as the enlightened elite.

Rating:
Summary: intelligent and enlightening
Review: A wonderful book. If you are a Mormon woman interested in issues of identity, equality, and women's history, this is the book for you. In a culture (LDS) which seems to sometimes homogenize women, this book celebrates women's different experiences. It was inspiring.

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, Though-Provoking
Review: If you are uncomfortable with the unorthodox, this is not the book for you. But if you would be interested in an exploration of some of the theological issues and history facing women in the LDS Church, this is certainly a book to savor.
