Embry has brought together a plethora of information on many aspects of polygamy untouched by previous inquiries. In a straightforward and scholarly manner, she deals with the intricacies of household economy, social activity, church activity, and other aspects of the diurnal life in the principle. She compares polygamous life with life in monogamous families. Her somewhat surprising conclusion is: life inside the principle was not much different from life outside the principle. . . .
Basically positive in its approach, it provides a balance to the negative sensationalism of polygamy’s detractors and uncritical wishfulness of its proponents. Polygamy was one of the greatest single factors that made Mormonism what it was in the nineteenth century. If it is lost from our consciousness, we give up much of that heritage. Embry’s work gives us a chance to reflect again on a legacy we ought not forget.
—Kahlile Mehr, BYU Studies
Embry has written a book which has no rival in exploring the living dynamics of late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century Mormon families, both polygamous and monogamous. . . . Mormon Polygamous Families should be on the reading list of everyone who is interested in what it meant at a personal level to be a Mormon during that time period.
—D. Michael Quinn, Sunstone
