"Heroines of 'Mormondom'" by Various is a collection of narratives reflecting on the lives of noble women within the context of early Mormon society, written in the late 19th century. This volume aims to honor the faith, resilience, and contributions of women who played pivotal roles in the shaping of the Latter-day Saints community, illustrating their heroism through personal experiences and trials. The text sheds light on various heroines and their struggles, anchoring its storytelling in historical events that emphasize their devotion and strength. The opening portion of the book sets the stage by presenting a preface that emphasizes the importance of these women's stories in strengthening faith within the Mormon community. The first chapter focuses on Mary Smith, the widow of Patriarch Hyrum Smith, detailing her life, trials, and the responsibilities she undertook following her husband’s death. It recounts significant events of her life, including her family's struggles during the Latter-day Saints' migration, her attempts to secure a livelihood, and her unwavering faith in the face of adversity.
