Brodie's No Man Knows My History has there been so searching an examination of the Mormon Culture. This book traces the unusual history of women in the Mormon culture from its nineteenth-century beginnings to present. Viewed as a patriarchal microcosm, the Mormon society reflects in its own unique way the extraordinary anti-female bias that has been rooted in and perpetuated by all patriarchal religions. With the complex blending of patriarchal power and political power in Mormondom, the culture also demonstrates how women's lives have been controlled by men who, in purporting to speak the words of God, have displayed through the years some remarkable inconsistencies.Paradoxically, today's Mormon women are descended from self-reliant pioneer women who contributed in a great variety of roles to the building of the Mormon Kingdom and were among the first in the country to achieve suffrage, but they are actively discouraged from anything other than domestic accomplishments. Their heritage of independent achievement is played down y the Church as it takes arbitrary stands against the current drives for equal rights and greater options for women. From the beginning, Mormon women have been denied positions of authority and leadership in the Church. Many Mormon women are beginning to question, often with fear and guild, their role condition, and their predicament has caught the attention fo feminist leaders throughout the world.Paperback: 304 pages Publisher: McGraw Hill Language: English ISBN-10 : 0070682712 ISBN-13 : 978-0070682719 Package Dimensions: 6.5 x 9.5 x 1.25 inches Shipping Weight: 1.5 lbs
