This article examines how multiple components of both LDS and mainstream prescriptive literature, Church theology, parental urging, and a young diarist's own motivation affected how young Mormon women kept their diaries and what they were (and were not) writing. Though this examination is based upon a conversation between sources, the words of the young women who were writing from the 1880s to the 1910s remain at the center of this study. Though the content of publications like the Young Woman's Journal identifies the gendered and generational concerns of older influential Church members, the personal writings of young women reveal the issues they found urgent and describes how these issues intersected with and differed from the prescriptive literature.
