Author relates several Jessie Evans Smith anecdotes and tries to assess their meaning in Mormon culture. She sees Smith as having an humanizing and softening effect upon her husband in the eyes of the people. She also sees Smith's irreverence and individualism as having the effect of lightening up the somber and austere image of holiness.
