Book description
On a sweltering day in June 1974, a group of housewives, graduate students, and young professionals gathered in the Boston suburbs. Their mission: to produce the first issue of Exponent II, a "humble yet sincere" newspaper "poised on the dual platforms of Mormonism and Feminism." They viewed their work as an act of devotion, not rebellion, and were naΓ―ve of the cold reception they would soon receive from LDS Church leaders. Nevertheless, the paper became a national platform connecting Mormon feminists. It provided a vital space for them to question and integrate different aspects of their dual--and sometimes dueling--identities. From the Equal Rights Amendment to queer identity, Exponent II has hosted some of the most urgent conversations of its time while also embracing life's dailiness. This comprehensive history and anthology celebrate five decades of Exponent II. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the authors chronicle the organization's evolution from a kitchen-table-style newspaper to a quarterly magazine, blog, and annual retreat. Its transformative impact on the lives of its participants stands as a testament to the power of connection, resilience, and community over ideological purity.

Language courses on audiobooks helped me pick up a new language effortlessly. With this app, audiobook listening has become an integral part of my daily routines β it's pure bliss. Chapters make navigation a breeze. I can easily pick up where I left off. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
