Description:
Many hold a deep fascination with Mormonism but erroneously think of it as a secret religion that celebrates polygamy and confinement. Most outsiders regard Latter-day Saint women as submissive and pitiable. In The Sisterhood, award-winning author Dorothy Allred Solomon takes us inside the lives of women of the faith. She focuses on the roles of Mormon women in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, including fascinating personal stories about family, children, and husbands. She takes us into the lives of the High Priestesses of the Church, draws on histories sustained by the most thorough genealogical records in the world, and addresses the wives of polygamists. The Sisterhood sheds light on an expanding and complex religion and offers a long overdue portrait of Mormonism and women.

Review Summary: Very Boring, not at all like Daughter of the Saints Date: 2008-09-17
 
Details: I loved Solomon's earlier work, and was excited to read this as well. However, it is very very boring. This is not a story or even a collection of stories as billed. It is pretty much an academic examination of Mormon women, with lots of citations and sources. So, it would be great for reference, but it is not a good read.
 
Review Summary: I loved it! Date: 2007-11-03
 
Details: I loved the reality of this book. I enjoyed the peeks into the author's history, the stories she shares from her experiences and the countless numbers of other women. I was inspired by stories of modern women as well as women in the early church and I was educated by the history shared. I've had misconceptions and questions about aspects of this religion (my religion) and this book inspired me to search more completely for the answers. I loved it and would highly recommend it.
It was food for thought and inspiration to study!
 
Review Summary: misleading Date: 2007-10-29
 
Details: The pages between the cover of this book would be fine - between a different cover. I expected a book on the sorority and relationships of LDS women, and it was almost nothing like that. The author was raised in a fundamental, polygamist family, and the book is at least half about modern fundamentalists, as it is the mainstream LDS. I felt like the cover was misleading.
