- catalog abstract "Discusses Mormon women in the state of Utah. "In 1883 Augusta Joyce Crocheron created the poster entitled "Representative Women of Deseret"and in 1884 wrote a book by the same name as a tribute to female leaders of various women' civic and religious organizations in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The engraving contains photographs of twenty women as well as illustrations of LDS cultural and religious motifs. The book contains biographies of each of the women pictured. Crocheron published the book and the poster at a time of intense persecution against Mormons in Utah, or Deseret, because of their practice of plural marriage. While the LDS Church viewed polygamy as a restoration of an ancient patriarchal order as found in the Old Testament, crucial to their concept of salvation, most nineteenth-century Protestant Americans believed polygamy to be a heinous system that encouraged lusty and unfaithful husbands and jealous and oppressed wives. Anti-Mormon literature portrayed Mormon women as weak and crude, oppressed and ignorant. Crocheron depicts the women as saints with great intelligence, talent, and social contribution." -- Page [4] of cover.".
