{"product_id":"emmeline-b-wells-carol-cornwall-madsen-9781607815235","title":"Emmeline B. Wells: An Intimate History","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmmeline B. Wells was the most noted Utah Mormon woman of her time. Lauded nationally for her energetic support of the women's rights movement of the nineteenth century, she was a self-made woman who channeled her lifelong sense of destiny into ambitious altruism. Her public acclaim and activism belied the introspective, self-appraising, and emotional persona she expressed in the pages of her forty-seven extant diaries. Yet she wrote, \"I have risen triumphant,\" after reconciling herself to the heartaches of plural marriage, and she pursued a self-directed life in earnest. \u003cbr\u003e This new biography tells the story of the private Emmeline. The unusual circumstances of her marriages, the complicated lives of her five daughters, losses and disappointments interspersed with bright moments and achievements, all engendered the idea that her life was a romance, with all the mysterious, tragic, and sentimental elements of that genre. Her responses to that perception made it so. This volume, drawing heavily on Emmeline Wells's own words, tells the complicated story of a woman of ambition, strength, tenderness, and faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Winner of the Mormon History Association's Best Biography Award.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Cornwall Madsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607815230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607815235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.30w x 1.60d","brand":"Carol Cornwall Madsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45065063891199,"sku":"9781607815235","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66392a7e-8aa3-434c-be0d-cfbca42289f6.jpg?v=1712125487","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emmeline-b-wells-carol-cornwall-madsen-9781607815235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
