History

Univ of Utah Pr

<p>Known variously as "Zion's poetess," "priestess," and "prophetess," Eliza Roxcy Snow is the first lady of Mormon letters. Secretly married to Mormon Church founder Joseph Smith in 1842, and wed after Smith's death to his successor Brigham Young, she was also the sister of Lorenzo Snow, fifth president of the church. Her list of credentials is long: president of the Relief Society from the time of its reorganization in Utah, author by her own count of nine published volumes, president of the Deseret Hospital Association, organizer of the Young Ladies' Mutual Improvement Association, the children's Primary Association, and the Woman's Commission Store, Snow lived a long life of real accomplishment. This volume brings together for the first time her life writings. They present Snow's life from different times and from differing points of view, and are interesting not only for what they reveal about Eliza R. Snow, but for what they suggest yet do not reveal about a public woman who wished to maintain her privacy.</p>

The Personal Writings of Eliza Roxcy Snow

E. R. S.

Snow, Eliza Roxcy

<p>Eliza R. Snow was the wife of two prophets and the sister of a third. She commanded such respect among the Mormon women that they celebrated her birthday, whether she was with them or not. Her dynamic leadership of the women's organizations left a mark that will never be forgotten. But who was she? Maureen Ursenbach Beecher uncovers a gentle, sensitive woman of great talents. What emerges is a woman with a heart and a gifted mind. We see her forge deep bonds with other leading sisters and unitedly create a home in the wilderness - a home for the Saints. For the first time, Eliza R. Snow comes to life.</p>
