Whipple is not a classic dissenter as she never completely broke from the Mormon church. Hers, was a struggle between her occupation as a writer and her reaction to Church leaders. She wrote The Giant Joshua, a woman's negative point of view on polygamy, and This is the Place: Utah, a non-fiction tourist book. She blamed Mormon leaders for the fact that she made little money from her publications.
