 | Women & Authority by Maxine Hanks
Utah women today might be surprised to learn their grandmothers' views on feminist issues, according to Maxine Hanks. LDS Relief Society co-founder Sarah Kimball referred to herself as a woman's rights woman, while Bathsheba Smith was called on Relief Society mission in 1870 to preach equal rights for women. The society editorialized that females belonged not only in the nursery but also in the library, the laboratory, the observatory. Sisters sent east to study medicine were assured that when men see that women can exist without them, it will perhaps take a little of the conceit out of some of them. Temple officiators were called priestesses, Eliza R. Snow the prophetess, and women were discouraged from confessing to bishops on grounds that personal matters should be referred to the Relief Society president and her counselors. Women were set apart as healers with power to rebuke diseases. In addition, Mormon theology spoke reassuringly of a Mother God of the divinity of Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Eve. No wonder Relief Society president Emmeline B. Wells could write with confidence: Let woman speak for herself; she has the right of freedom of speech. Women are too slow in moving forward, afraid of criticism, of being called unwomanly, of being thought masculine. AUTHOR: Maxine Hanks

 | When Bad Things Happen to Other People by John Portmann
Whenever a friend succeeds, a little something in me dies, Gore Vidal once observed. It`s funny, it`s terrible, and it`s true. What is it in human nature that makes us derive pleasure from other`--even friends`--suffering? John Portmann explores this all-too-human foible--what the Germans call Schadenfreude--in the first book ever written about this universal emotion. WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE will challenge you to reexamine your feelings about suffering, sympathy, and the ambiguity of justice. AUTHOR: John Portmann
