"Although spawned from the same nineteenth-century religious awakening, the 1824 conservative Jewish Reform movement and the more radical 1830 genesis of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seem, at first glance, to have little in common. However, each produced a female hymnist, both of whom appear cut from the same cloth. These two women, Penina Moise and Eliza R. Snow, lived and died devoted to their God, church, and community. They were writers of poetry, hymns, and prose--each devoting verse to her own distinct cosmology, but at the same time displaying remarkable similarities that provide a valuable glimpse into the sentimentalized democratization of American religion."
