Amy Brown Lyman was a leader once admired for her dynamic
personality, her inspiring public addresses, and for her remarkable
vision of what Mormon women in the Relief Society could achieve.
Yet today her name is barely known. This volume introduces her to a
new generation, showing how the accomplishments of Lyman and her
peers benefitted subsequent generations. Dave Hall examines the
roots and trajectory of Mormon women's activism. Lyman entered
public life at a time when the practice of polygamy was ending and
Mormonism was assimilating mainstream trends. The book recounts her
involvement in the Relief Society, the Mormon women's charity group
that she led for many years and sought to transform into a force
for social welfare. Lyman's later life, after she resigned from the
Relief Society amidst personal tragedy, offers insight into the
reasons Mormon women abandoned an activist heritage for a more
conservative role, that is again evolving.
