She thinks it unfair that women must be only married to one man, but men…

IMHO in the celestial kingdom there must be reciprocity, being a place of perfect freedom. So, Joseph was teaching pure doctrine?

The thread is hijacked. What a wonderful woman. How I despise the correlation committee which effectively killed the RS. I think it was done specifically for the RS. Male chauvinists, all.

The priesthood did not want women showing them up. There must be some way of letting the women self-organize and keep their own check books.

One really juicy tidbit of unfolding historical research is this: many years after having rejected Joseph Smith’s personal teaching of plural marriage, Sarah M. Kimball had herself sealed to him (by proxy) in the St. George temple.

I’m in the very (very) early stages of turning this work into a publishable book. Read up! You will love her.

This led me online to the little Kimball Whitney cemetery in downtown SLC. I didn’t know it existed, but then I’ve never explored downtown SLC without a specific destination.

The cemetery is in the center of the block east of the Conference Center. It contains the burial of at least one of Sarah’s Indian children. This is a total tangent to what I’m doing, but I wanted to mention it.

It might be helpful to note that the historically accepted definition of polyandry involves one woman being legally married to, and sharing intimacy with, more than one man, in a situation where the woman typically lives with all men involved in some manner. A woman married for time to one husband whom she lives with in an intimate relationship, while also being sealed for eternity to another male with whom she does not live nor share intimacy, does not meet the textbook definition for engaging in polyandry. If it did, every LDS woman today who is sealed to a deceased spouse and remarries for time only is engaging in polyandry.
