Women's Work on the Mormon Frontier

'On the whole, the women seldom strayed from the concept of women's work that they brought with them from their pre-Mormon homes or picked up from their States-born mothers. Far from being the avant garde of the women's movement, the unconscious forefront for widening spheres, the women of Mormon country held all the stronger to the American society they remembered or to the seepings-in from the East of fashions and manners that reinforced those values they associated with refinement and culture. Women's work on the Mormon frontier varied little from women's work anywhere else in the western civilization.'
