Their mission: to produce the first issue of \u003ci\u003eExponent II\u003c\/i\u003e, a \"humble yet sincere\" newspaper \"poised on the dual platforms of Mormonism and Feminism.\" They viewed their work as an act of devotion, not rebellion, and were na?ve of the cold reception they would soon receive from LDS Church leaders. Nevertheless, the paper became a national platform connecting Mormon feminists. It provided a vital space for them to question and integrate different aspects of their dual--and sometimes dueling--identities. From the Equal Rights Amendment to queer identity, \u003ci\u003eExponent II\u003c\/i\u003e has hosted some of the most urgent conversations of its time while also embracing life's dailiness. \u003c\/p\u003e This comprehensive history and anthology celebrate five decades of \u003ci\u003eExponent II\u003c\/i\u003e. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the authors chronicle the organization's evolution from a kitchen-table-style newspaper to a quarterly magazine, blog, and annual retreat. Its transformative impact on the lives of its participants stands as a testament to the power of connection, resilience, and community over ideological purity.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 426\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42152366211207,"sku":"9781560854777","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/cdd4462264599ce8d403eced36db403c.webp?v=1733213871","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/fifty-years-of-exponent-ii-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
