"Throughout the 1800s, the territory of Utah was at odds—ideologically and at times legally—with the rest of the expanding United States. Carol Madsen illustrates the importance of the Woman’s Exponent to the women of Utah in the end of the century, the publication allowing them a voice to defend polygamy and promote woman suffrage. The Woman’s Exponent, under editors Louisa Green and Emmeline Wells, also documented and perpetuated emerging ideas of the “New Woman.” The pioneering traditions of the women in the Church conflicted with traditional nineteenth-century concepts of a “woman on a pedestal” kept away from the spheres of politics and public life; and the ideals of the New Woman, including independence, found a strong advocate in the publication’s pages. In addition to these social and political campaigns, the Woman’s Exponent has preserved much of the history of Utah during this period in biographies, obituaries, poetry, commentary on and minutes of Church and local conferences, letters, and more."
