The Women of Mormondom

By EDWARD W. TULLIDGE.
NEW YORK.
1877.
Long enough, O women of America, have your Mormon sisters been blasphemed!
From the day that they, in the name and fear of the Lord their God, undertook to build up Zion, they have been persecuted for righteousness sake: A people scattered and peeled from the beginning.
The record of their lives is now sent unto you, that you may have an opportunity to judge them in the spirit of righteousness. So shall you be judged by Him whom they have honored, whose glory they have sought, and whose name they have magnified.
Respectfully,
EDWARD W. TULLIDGE.
Salt Lake City, March , 1877.
A STRANGE RELIGIOUS EPIC—AN ISRAELITISH TYPE OF WOMAN IN THE AGE.
AN epic of woman! Not in all the ages has there been one like unto it.
Fuller of romance than works of fiction are the lives of the Mormon women. So strange and thrilling is their story,—so rare in its elements of experience,—that neither history nor fable affords a perfect example; yet is it a reality of our own times.
