Send us a text!
Episode 10 of Polygamy examines women's experiences with polygamy in early Mormonism through personal accounts and historical records. We explore the complex stories of women like Patty Sessions, Lucy Walker, and Helen Mar Kimball who became Joseph Smith's plural wives, as well as Emma Smith's struggle with the practice. We discuss the power dynamics at play, the practice of polyandry where women were sealed to Joseph while already married, and the diversity of women's responses to plural marriage. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding historical context while acknowledging the real human impact of this controversial practice.
