Bush models an impressive ability to read historical texts closely and carefully, identifying tone, rhetorical strategies, the use of imagery, and the creation of selves'skills that would benefit any historican or reader of history. -Lavina Fielding Anderson Lucidly written and cogently argued, Bush's important and ground-breaking study helpfully contributes to rethinking the practice of both women's and western life narrative. Its central concept of ""faithful transgression"" investigates the inscription of gendered roles in Mormon tradition and the interventional work of women's writing within that tradition. -Julia Watson I've read a number of manuscripts on Mormon women's writing in the past few years, and this is definitely the best one. It should be appealing to a general audience and to scholars. -Melody Graulich"
