Yet women of color in the United States and across the Global South adopt and adapt the faith to their contexts, many sharing the high level of satisfaction expressed by Latter-day Saints in general. Caroline Kline explores the ways Latter-day Saint women of color in Mexico, Botswana, and the United States navigate gender norms, but also how their moral priorities and actions challenge Western feminist assumptions. Kline analyzes these traditional religious women through non-oppressive connectedness, a worldview that blends elements of female empowerment and liberation with a broader focus on fostering positive and productive relationships in different realms. Even as members of a patriarchal institution, the women feel a sense of liberation that empowers them to work against oppression and against alienation from both God and other human beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vivid and groundbreaking, \u003ci\u003eMormon Women at the Crossroads\u003c\/i\u003e merges interviews with theory to offer a rare discussion of Latter-day Saint women from a global perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaroline Kline\u003c\/b\u003e is the assistant director of the Center for Global Mormon Studies at Claremont Graduate University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 28, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462743081138,"sku":"9780252086434","price":47.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/7b1c80f587f1cba4e6092f2a84504b02.webp?v=1778975327","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/mormon-women-at-the-crossroads-global-narratives-and-the-power-of-connectedness-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
