--
Mrs. Bathsheba Smith, whose name has appeared elsewhere, is apostolic
in the movements of the sisterhood, and a priestess of the temple.
Mrs. Franklin D. Richards is the most prominent organizer outside of
the metropolis of Utah, having Ogden and Weber counties under her
direction. Sister Smoot leads at Provo. The silk industries are under
the direction of President Zina D. Young. Those sisters who have
been most energetic in promoting this important branch of industry,
which gives promise of becoming a financial success in Utah, have
already earned historic laurels. Of these are Sisters Dunyan, Robison,
Carter, Clark, Schettler, and Rockwood. Eliza R. Snow is president,
and Priscilla M. Staines vice-president, of the woman's co-operative
store, an enterprise designed to foster home manufactures. Thus are the
women of Mormondom putting the inchoate State of Deseret under the most
complete organization.
CHAPTER LI.
THE SISTERS AND THE MARRIAGE QUESTION--THE WOMEN OF UTAH
ENFRANCHISED--PASSAGE OF THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE BILL--A POLITICAL
CONTEST--THE FIRST WOMAN THAT VOTED IN UTAH.
The women of Mormondom, and the marriage question! Two of the greatest
sensations of the age united!
Here we meet the subject of woman, in two casts--not less Gentile than
Mormon.
Marriage is the great question of the age. It is the woman's special
subject. Monogamic, or polygamic, it is essentially one problem. Either
phase is good, or bad, just as people choose to consider it, or just as
they are educated to view it.
