Marriage, Mormonism, and Female Identity

This book would be a good read for individuals curious about the experiences of Mormon women in a male-dominated community. Through her personal account, Laake sheds light on the pressure placed on women to conform to traditional gender roles and the consequences faced by those who resist. The book also exposes the societal harm caused by the male-centric structure of the church, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in feminist critique.

Description

Born and bred in the Mormon faith, Deborah Laake grew up convinced that her only chance of eternal happiness was through marriage to "the One" - the predestined partner who would guide her through the portals of the Celestial kingdom into the highest level of Mormon heaven. But finding "the One" proved much more difficult than she had imagined. Misguidedly settling for the diminutive Monty, she endured nine months of repression, sexual dissatifaction, nylon ritual underwear and priggish rigidity in the name of Mormon matrimony before finding the courage to divorce him. But freedom from Monty only brought her into conflict with the church itself, and its enduring obsession with the sexuality of the fallen woman. This is Deborah's story, an indictment of one of the enduring bastions of male privilege, and an affirmation of identity and self-worth.
