Provides insight about the 24-25 June 1977 Utah Women's Conference authorized by the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year (IWY). Mobilized by the Mormon Church Relief Society leadership call for participation of 10 women per ward, 9000 participants revolted against the state Coordinating Committee, rejected all nationally formulated resolutions, voted against workshop-sponsored formulated resolutions on affirmative action, ERA (Equal Rights Amendment), abortion, sex education, or federal interference in local or family interests, and elected to the 1st National Women's Conference an overwhelmingly Mormon, conservative, antifeminist slate of delegates. The Mormon Church, without urging this result, did not prevent use of its machinery by right-wing groups and was not disappointed by conference actions. Based on author's attendance at the conference, and on the conference's offical reports; Utah newspapers.
