Series Title: A Sketch of the Life & Work of Mormon Feminist Maxine Hanks [Part II of IV]

In this insightful episode, Valerie and guest scholar Maxine Hanks dive deep into the realm of feminism within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. 

Today's episode focuses on the pioneering work of D. Michael Quinn, whose exploration into polygamy, LGBT history, and women holding the priesthood stirred church-wide controversy. As a priesthood holding BYU professor at the time, Quinn's brave, honest, and concise historical excavation seemed especially threatening to the presiding guardians of the LDS theological and historical majority narrative. 

This episode further explores the intertwined roles of historians, psychologists, feminists, and LGBTQ individuals and ally activists in the LDS space and highlights the vital importance of "shadow workers"...those willing to bring into the light tough topics that many are afraid to address, but which need to be addressed for this Christian community to truly embody a body of Christ.
