Women in Utah History: Paradigm or Paradox? Edited by Patricia Lyn Scott and Linda Thatcher. (Logan: Utah State University Press, 2005. xviii + 438 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $34.95, cloth; $19.95, paper.)

Historical perceptions of Utah women have often focused on their difference from other women—in particular, on their paradoxically coexistent submission and independence. (They supported polygamy and were obedient to Mormon authority, and they also welcomed the franchise in 1870.) Emphasizing difference, however, the editors of this collection contend, does not tell the full story, for Utah women also had much in common with women elsewhere. The central paradox of the book's title, the editors explain, is "that Utah women were both representative of national women (a paradigm) and distinctive" (p. ix).
