Series Title: Celebrating 50 Years Exponent II & Mormon Feminist Voices [Part I of II]
In this episode, Valerie speaks with Katie Ludlow Rich and Heather Sundahl, the co-authors of newly published book '50 Years of Exponent II'.
They discuss the fascinating history of the original “Woman's Exponent” magazine in the late 1800s and its revival magazine “Exponent II”, both offering a place for Mormon feminists to gather, write, and share their experiences as women of different eras wrestling with issues crucial to their time and their identity as women.
The conversation in this and Friday’s episode explores the impact of polygamy on Mormon feminism, the importance of women's independent voices, and how Exponent II's existence provided a crucial platform for Mormon women's stories and experiences.
Trying to make sense of how feminism exists in an institutional patriarchy? Wanting to find others who value their heritage but feel passion for women’s and gender minority issues? You’ve found your place!
