Wife No. 19 is the compelling, informative and emotionally fraught
biography of Ann Eliza Young, a member and wife within the Mormon
church during the 19th century. Young sets out to chronicle a
lengthy expos of the various misdeeds she witnessed or was
personally part of. She describes the character of the founder and
prophet of the Mormon Church, Joseph Smith, in the context of his
interpersonal relationships. The gradual emergence of polygamy, and
its uptake among the higher ranking members of the church, is
detailed. Although the title highlights the polygamous
relationships for which Mormonism gained notoriety, this book does
not shy away from the other scandals or controversies. For example;
the means via which Brigham Young dishonestly relieved his
followers of their money, possessions and cattle via a number of
schemes, and the frequent use of the local Native American
populations as scapegoats.

Mormonism, and revealing the sorrows, sacrifices and sufferings of
women in polygamy, by Brigham Young's apostate wife. Born and

A campaigner for women's rights
This is a remarkable and controversial book by any standards. The
verdict is still out on whether its author Ann Eliza Young
(formerly Webb) presented her case with complete impartiality, but
certainly its contents are sufficiently detailed to reveal shocking
and extraordinary details of her experiences during her time as a
pluralist wife of Brigham Young of the Latter-Day Saints. A child
of Mormon parents, Ann entered into her marriage with Young when he
was 67 years old and she was 24, a divorcee and the mother of two
children. Her writings on her experiences of the Mormon lifestyle
in Utah make gripping reading and her book is filled with accounts
of privation, cruelty and violence. She filed for divorce from
Brigham Young in 1873 and went on to become an outspoken advocate
for the rights of women in 19th century America and an ardent and
campaigning opponent of polygamous marriage. This book is her
account of her life as one of Young's wives and on its original
publication propelled Ann into the public arena and became a best
seller of its day. It still makes compelling reading. Available in
softcover and hardcover for collectors.

Wife No. 19 is the story of one of Brigham Young's 55 wives, and
her experiences with polygamy and the Mormon Church. Ann Eliza
Young wrote her autobiography in order to inform the rest of the
United States, so disengaged with the goings-on in Utah, the
bondage Mormonism and polygamy held on women. She didn't publish
the book until 1876, after Brigham Young's death, because he so
opposed her work and testimony against his church, and because
their divorce had been so public and volatile. Ann Eliza Young,
born in 1844, was the 19th wife of Brigham Young, well-known leader
of the early Mormon Church and husband to 55 women. After rebelling
from Mormon teachings, rejecting the idea that God intends men to
have plural marriages, and divorcing her husband, Ann Eliza toured
the country, speaking, writing, and campaigning to end polygamy in
the United States. Her eventual testimony before Congress in 1875
helped secure the Poland Act, which enabled the Federal government
to end polygamy in Utah. Ann Eliza was married three times and had
two children, both from her first marriage. She continued to fight
for women's rights until her death.
