Description

BYU Studies Quarterly 59, no. 3, commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote, and the 150th anniversary of that right being granted to Utah women. The issue includes articles that overview the history of women’s suffrage; articles on key suffrage figures Emmeline B. Wells, Eliza R. Snow, and Belva Lockwood; the role of the Woman’s Exponent in the suffrage movement; and a discussion of resources available for the study of suffrage. Additionally, Anne Snyder’s article encourages us to look to people who may have previously been marginalized to revitalize the Christian community. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Claudia Bushman, and Richard Lyman Bushman give personal comments about their lives and their work.
