The concerns and direction taken by women leaders of female organizations in the Mormon Church are compared with leaders of voluntary women's associations in the U.S. In many ways, Mormon men and women leaders were in advance of the rest of the nation in terms of social change for women in the nineteenth century. However, at the turn of the century, male leaders of the Church changed their stance and withdrew their support from the feminists. She wonders why it happened that way and offers some possible research avenues for studying this paradox. She also observes that an important part of this question involves the lack of public reaction among Mormon women when Church policy changed on this issue. She alleges that in the context of the Mormon theology, which was wholly dominated by men, Mormon women had only two options: to obey or apostatize.
