The involvement of the Church in political matters throughout its history is reviewed. Quinn discusses the conception of Mormonism as theocracy and involvement of the Church in Utah politics. These include the legislative reapportionment campaign in 1953-54. He notes that Mormon women exercised considerable political autonomy in the nineteenth century, but that autonomy and status eroded from the 1920s onward. He argues and presents much evidence to show that the Church conducted a "significant national campaign" against ratification of the ERA. He discusses the extent and limits of LDS Church headquarters involvement and the role of various Church leaders, regional representatives, and the Special Affairs Committee in the anti-ERA campaign. He describes the role played by Mormon women in various IWY state conferences in 1977. He asserts that although the claim can't be made that the Church should be credited for the defeat of the ERA, Mormons were "a part of a religious coalition which was decisive in defeating the ERA.".
