"This article examines nineteenth-century Mormon womens discourses in three senses—as historical sources, as acts of agency and voice, and as contributions to the discourse of the community. Discourses and their discourses provide valuable and interesting material, and inclusion of religious women produce important American context to the overall social climate. Literary scholars examine discourse as the manuevering of text by code, an underlying message revealing both literary devices and semiotic meaning. Careful examination requires attention to entanglement with a dominant discourse. In the case of Mormon women, that dominant discourse might include the patriarchal structure of the church as well as the influence and relationship with the larger American culture. Communication scholars recognize the broader definition of discourse as any verbal utterance, which is a product of social, historical, and institutional formations. The examination of power relations or subjectivities such as race, gender, class, or institution certainly contribute significantly." [Author]
