From 1872–1914, Latter-day Saint suffragists in Utah published a women’s rights newspaper called the Woman’s Exponent. In 1974, a group of Boston women that included historians Laurel Thatcher Ulrich and Claudia Bushman began publishing Exponent II, a quarterly periodical that they called a “spiritual descendant” of the original Exponent. Exponent II will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2024. As part of that commemoration, Signature Books is honored to publish a book on Fifty Years of Exponent II, co-edited by Katie Ludlow Rich and Heather Sundahl. Today’s podcast offers a sneak peak of this forthcoming book, as presented by Rich at the 2023 Sunstone Symposium.
