COOPER 211 • * * •*« In this issue The winter 1970 issue of Utah Llistorical Quarterly, developed around the theme of women in Utah, was one of the most popular issues ever published and quickly went out of print. In the years that have followed, the Society has received numerous requests for additional articles on women in Utah history. This demand has been met in part with the publication of an occasional article in subsequent issues-studies portraying women in agriculture, the professions, literary creativity, politics, and various other facets of the Utah experience-but this is the first time since 1970 that sufficient material has been available to again devote an entire Quarterly to women. Most of the articles that follow originated from a contest sponsored bv the Utah State Historical Society and the Women in Utah History Task Force of the International Women's Year. The competition proved remarkably successful; other articles generated by it will undoubtedly appear in future issues of the Quarterly. The first selection represents a new look at the enduring matter of woman suffrage and offers a rare glimpse at a few of the extraordinary personalities involved in that drama. Working women command the focus of the next two articles, revealing a history of versatility, ingenuity, and capability that has not been well described heretofore. The following two selections are reminiscences that demonstrate the enormous range of achievement among Utah women and share the common feature of personal conviction beautifully expressed. The final article, well illustrated and analytical, discusses images of the nineteenth-century Mormon woman. It is a timely piece, given the radical change in the image of women going on today, and it combines well with the other articles to provide a frame of reference within which this change can be properly gauged and appreciated. |
