Beecher applies the concept of 'elites' to Mormon women studies. She finds that a small core of women dominated early LDS women activity, having social and political as well as ecclesiastical influence. These included Eliza R. Snow, Zina D.H. Young, Presendia L. Kimball, Elizabeth Ann Whitney, Sara M. Kimball, Bathsheba W. Smith, Mary Isabella Horne and Phoebe Woodruff. In addition, Beecher identifies a 'second tier' of women.
