Notes
Description
In her nearly fifty years as a public figure, Emmeline B. Wells edited the Woman's Exponent, represented Mormon women in the woman suffrage movement, courageously defended plural marriage, and helped mitigate anti-Mormon sentiment, all before becoming Relief Society General President at the age of eighty-two. Emmeline's life was not the norm of her era. Born on the outer fringes of a rural society, she became an intellectual, a middle-class American, and a prominent Mormon. A life-size bust of Emmeline sits in the Utah state capitol building, the lone woman so honored for seventy years. The simple inscription speaks volumes: "A Fine Soul Who Served Us."
