In Her Image: Finding Heavenly Mother in Scripture, Scholarship, the Arts, Mythology & Everyday Life

145. Joseph Smith, Polygamy, and Women's Voices


Listen Later

In this short episode, Jessica Woodbury records a few additional thoughts about the topic of Joseph Smith and his possible involvement in the practice of polygamy referred to in episode 145. She emphasizes taking the time to listen to women's stories and becoming thoughtful consumers of our sources of historical information. She also shares how this discussion around Joseph's polygamy can often be triggering for women when it feels like individuals may be following societal patterns of undermining the belief in women's stories for the sake of the protection of an influential man. She shares a few resources that can help individuals seek out the stories and words of women involved, including the books In Sacred Loneliness, by Todd Compton (https://a.co/d/1hln4BX) and In Sacred Loneliness: The Documents (https://a.co/d/5ItoGZa), also by Todd Compton.
