The Women of Mormonism: Or the Story of Polygamy as Told by the Victims Themselves (Classic Reprint) - new book

Excerpt from The Women of Mormonism: Or the Story of Polygamy as Told by the Victims Themselves

Some one has said that an Author's Preface is as um necessary as absurd, because in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred it is simply an apology for having written the book. The Editor of these pages certainly does not offer any apology for this book. She only gives a few words of explanation as to how it came to be presented to the public.

A few years ago, a little band of brave and devoted women in Salt Lake City, associated themselves together for the purpose of fighting an iniquitous monster which had brought thousands of their sex to untimely and um wept graves. Some of these women had experienced personally all the horrors of the Mormon system, and when an organ for the anti-polygamy Society was established, they were Willing to give their experience to the world, only stipulating that, for family and personal reasons, their names should not be made public. They were willing to make private affidavits to all the facts.
