Yes, I am still active and the more I learn about the church’s history–particularly Mormon women’s history–the more comfortable I am with aspects that make many people inside and out of the church uncomfortable. For example, though I don’t sanction the 19th century practice of polygamy, I’ve grown to appreciate many of the women who felt like this was a religious principle for them–including my own great-great-grandmother. As to the news about Eliza R. Snow’s possible rape, I was shocked hearing it but it makes sense to me and does make the early church persecution period more relevant. Growing up I mostly heard stories of men being tarred and feathered or having to leave behind businesses or property they’d built (early Mormon temples). Women’s hardships were mentioned of course–usually in regards to childbearing on the trail or in remote homesteading locations–but they seemed secondary to the trials of the men. Her story gives their stories more heft.
