"The solution to the problem of androcentrism in LDS theology cannot rest solely on the introduction of female characters, because such characters serve to both highlight and solidify particular forms of sexual difference as normative and natural. Mormon feminist liberation and empowerment of Heavenly Mother has often shackled her with a new set of discursive constraints. Rather, new Mormon feminist critiques should query the basis of sexual difference and the heterosexual imperative bound up in the binary of male and female...The point of this essay is to foster and facilitate continued Mormon feminist theorization, to engage with generous critique of the way that 'woman' has been put into discourse, and to invite non-Mormon feminists into these conversations as participants and partners. Such resources destabilize monolithic representations of Mormonism, both from within and without the faith, with respect to gender. Mormonism too is heterogeneous and thus open to deconstruction and re-signification." [Author]
