One, two, three, go.

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Feminist Mormon Housewives podcast.

I'm your host, Lindsay, and we are

continuing our series, A Year of Polygamy, highlighting this time, Eliza R. Snow. Now, I just want to say

that we have talked about Eliza R. Snow in the past, and this is only dealing with her stories

of polygamy. I think that she has such a wealth of information.

She was a prolific writer and just a huge person in church history.

So she deserves her own podcast, but you're in luck.

We've already done a podcast on her with Karen Lynn Davidson, her biographer for her book eliza the life

and faith of eliza or snow so i'll go ahead and link to that and make sure you check that out because

there's a lot more to eliza snow than polygamy and i really don't like these women reduced just to

their relationship with other men and luckily for for Eliza, she has so much

written about her, there's just such a wealth of information. But today, since we are processing

polygamy and the issue of polygamy for Mormon women to help dissect and help them work through

this difficult issue, we're going to talk about Eliza's relationship with

colicamy. There is a lot to say about her. She was early Relief Society president,

president of the Desert Hospital, president of the women's department of the

Dowement House. She was an author. She was a poet. She was married to two prophets,

Joseph Smith and Brigham Young.

She wrote a lot of our hymns. She is probably one of the most famous women in Mormon history.

She's just really remembered well, and she has a story of talent accomplishments scandal and triumph.

Todd Compton would call her the childless mother of mothers in Israel.
