Mormon Wives: A Narrative of Facts Stranger Than Fiction is a book written by Metta Victoria Fuller and published in 1856. The book is a first-hand account of Fuller's experiences as a plural wife in the Mormon community during the mid-19th century. The author provides a detailed and often shocking portrayal of the polygamous lifestyle, including the emotional and physical toll it takes on women and children. Fuller also exposes the power dynamics at play within the Mormon hierarchy, as well as the manipulation and abuse of authority by male leaders. The book is a unique and important historical document that sheds light on a controversial and often misunderstood aspect of Mormon history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
