Listen to Martha's full story that will be featured in the upcoming "The Daughters" audio documentary.

The Daughters is an audio documentary featuring the stories of those who were a part of  the patriarchal Stay at Home Daughter movement. The Stay at Home  Daughter movement held to the basic premise that women even well into  adulthood should not leave their father’s house, but stay under his  household and authority. This is often included with the idea that women  do not need to, nor should they, pursue a career outside of the home  since living and serving in the home is of the highest honor. The  documentary aims to tell the stories of women who have left this movement and the affect it had on them.
