About this product

Product Information

This first study of the antipolygamy movement in the United States traces its growth from a Utah-based women's group into a national crusade where it sparked a debate in suffrage politics. The author analyzes this debate, highlighting the differing views of marriage, family, and the role of women held by suffrage leaders, Mormon women, and antipolygamy reformers. Antipolygamy rhetoric masked a more significant debate within women's groups about the structure and meaning of the American family. Coming in the post-Civil War period, the antipolygamy agenda reflects an attempt to "re-construct" the Republican family, diminish patriarchal authority, and improve the status of women. The reaction of the antipolygamy women was also more than a struggle for power. Their adherence to the Republican family was a discourse involving not just rhetoric, but a whole range of cultural forms and institutions which provided women with status, moral authority, and an identity. Often the fear of polygamy was mingled with anxietyover the increase in divorce and the emergence of the new woman. Ironically, by the end of the long congressional battle over Utah and the Mormons, both the rhetoric of polygamy and antipolygamy were used against the women's movement.

Reviews
"Joan Iversen's study of the Mormon-sufferage alliance and successive national antipolygamy movements is rich in detail and well-grounded in the latest historical literature . . .as women's history and gender studies seek to recast the main outlines of the dominant intrepretations of US history, this book adds its voice to a growing chorus who are proclaiming that women were actors, grass-roots activists, and opinion-shapers in nationalmovemnts that previous generations of historials understood through only the eyes of meno." -Phoebe ..."rich in detail and well-grounded in the latest historical literature. This book asks basic questions about how social arrangements and religion affect women's condition and how such arrangements can and cannot be affected by reform movements." -Phoebe ..."the narrative is both accessible and exciting: strongly organized, vividly illustrated with telling vignettes and quotations, and insightfully analyzed for meaning and connections with larger currents of nineteenth century thought." -The Journal of Mormon History "Further-bibliography, they are a treasure trove, an essential guide to archival depositories and to existing publications...I unequivocally recommend the" Antipolygamy Controversy in U.S. Women's Movement 1880-1925 to scholars and novices who wish they knew more about polygamy, the antipolygamy movement, and the women's movement of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.." "Quibbls aside, this volume makes a significant contribution to a number of different fields. Particularly compelling is Iversen's discussion of how both suffragists and their opponents used antipolygamy rhetoric to further their own aimsuntil women were given the vote in 1920.."
