Housewives.

Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Feminist Mormon Housewives podcast. I'm our host

Lindsay, bringing you another episode in the Year of Polygamy series, where we seek to understand

women, but the most accessible ones, the ones that have published biographies are usually ones that are

married to prominent men. And that would be the case of John D. Lee. Today I'm going to specifically talk about one wife in particular.

Her name was Emma Louise Bachelor or Emma Bachelor Lee French.

We're going to be talking about her, but before that, I just wanted to make one correction

and now research is being done by Will Bagley and others who are asserting that there was little to no Indian involvement whatsoever at all.

So I feel like that's important to say that's an important correction to have.

It's a very important correction.

So let's get into the Wiser-Jondie Lee.
