Скачать или смотреть Eliza R. Snow: More Than a Poet

What if one of the most influential voices in early Mormon history wasn’t a prophet or apostle but a woman whose sermons were scattered across 480,000 pages of records? In this video, we explore the groundbreaking new volume Rise Up and Speak: The Collected Discourses of Eliza R. Snow and uncover how Eliza R. Snow shaped LDS doctrine, women’s leadership, Relief Society organization, and even the theology of plural marriage. Far more than the “Poetess of Zion,” Snow emerges here as a powerful religious thinker, institutional architect, and defender of women’s public voice.

Drawing from over 1,300 recovered discourses compiled by the LDS Church History Department, this discussion highlights her influence on suffrage, economic cooperation, medical education for women, priesthood authority, and the development of Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary organizations. We also examine her relationship to Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, her theological vision, and how this volume reframes the broader narrative of Mormon history. If you care about Church history, LDS women’s leadership, or American religious history, this is essential viewing.
