Mormon Wives: A Narrative of Facts Stranger Than Fiction is a book written by Metta Victoria Fuller in 1856. The book provides a detailed and eye-opening account of the lives of women in the Mormon community during the mid-19th century. Fuller, who was herself a former member of the Mormon Church, describes the polygamous lifestyle of Mormon men and the struggles of their wives.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Mormon life. Fuller writes about the early history of the Mormon Church, the teachings of its founder Joseph Smith, and the development of the practice of polygamy. She also describes the experiences of several women who were forced into polygamous marriages and the difficulties they faced in their daily lives.Fuller's book is a powerful critique of the Mormon Church and its treatment of women. She exposes the hypocrisy of male leaders who preached the virtues of monogamy while secretly practicing polygamy. She also highlights the emotional and physical toll that polygamy took on women, many of whom were forced to share their husbands with multiple wives.Mormon Wives is a fascinating and often disturbing account of a little-known aspect of American history. It sheds light on the lives of women who were marginalized and oppressed by a patriarchal religious system. Despite the controversy that surrounded the book when it was first published, it remains an important historical document that continues to be studied and discussed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
