Women of Principle: Female Networking in Contemporary Mormon Polygyny
Bennion, Janet (Assistant Professor of Socio-cultural Anthropology, Assistant Professor of Socio-cultural Anthropology, University of Maine)
A study of the struggles of contemporary Mormon polygynous women, which claims that the women gain economic security and social autonomy through networks with others of the same sex when the patriarch is absent from the family. The author argues that Mormon women see polygyny as an alternative to isolation, poverty, and emotional deprivation.
