This article presents an analysis of autobiographies written by American-born women who converted to the LDS Church between 1829 and 1869. This does not necessarily mean the women wrote their autobiographies during this period. Instead, the women were within the first wave of LDS converts and migrated westward to Utah during this time. The authors themselves were born between 1784 and 1847 but converted and traveled to Utah within this period. The autobiographies were written as early as 1835 and as late as 1925. This range provides more evidence that LDS doctrine fostered a formulaic narrative because it is prevalent in autobiographies of women across generations but within the same religion.
