AN ADVOCATE FOR WOMEN - The Public Life of Emmeline B. Wells, 1870-1920 (Biographies in Latter-Day Saint History) (Biographies in Latter-Day Saint History)

Cover has some light edge and corner wear.; In her fifty years as a public figure, Emmeline B. Wells edited the Woman's Exponent, represented Latter-day Saint women in national women's organizations, courageously defended her religion in the halls of Congress, and helped mitigate anti-Mormon sentiments, all before becoming Relief Society General President in 1910 at age eighty-two. Her mediating efforts won friends inside and outside LDS circles and earned her a sculpted bust placed in a niche in the Utah state Capitol. The simple inscription speaks volumes: "A Fine Soul Who Served Us." ; 6.25" x 9.25"; 498 pages.
