Presents the journal of Helen Mar Kimball Whitney (1828- 1896), the polygamous wife of Mormon founder Joseph Smith and later, of Horace Whitney. Upon his death, she began a journal recording her economic, physical, and psychological struggles to meet the challenges of widowhood. Her writings also provide a picture of polygamy, the pioneering life, her involvement in the women's movement and her career as a published writer, and the political state of Utah at the cusp of statehood. The introduction discusses her life and places the diary in context. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
