Madsen uses the diaries and letters of early 19th Century Mormon women as the subliterature to help readers understand Mormon history as a whole. She shows that the writings of Mormon women, similar to the writings of 19th Century Victorian women, recorded significant events, revealed emotion and defined relationships; early womens' writings helped preserve an entire female culture.
