Authors to Discuss Emma Smith "What was the impact of Emma Smith oa the status of Mormon women?" is the question currently being considered by Linda King Newell and Valeen Tippetts Avery, co authors of a forthcoming biography of Emma Smith. The authors will present their findings Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Alice Louise Reynolds Room at BYU as part of a series of public discussion of Vital Questions In Mormon Mormon History, sponsored by the History Association and supported by a grant from the Utah Endowment for the Humanities. Emma Hale Smith, wife of the LDS Prophet Joseph Smith, was Mormonism's First Lady from the time the church was organized in 1830 until her husband's death in 1844. She presided over the church's first organization for women, the Female Relief Society, during the two years it functioned in Nauvoo. Opposing the church's practice of plural marriage and refusing to sustain Brigham Young as her husband's successor in church leadership, she later lent her support to the Mormons who proclaimed Joseph Smith III as their prophet. Newell, Salt Lake City, and Avery, Flagstaff, Ariz., say that even though a century has passed snce Emma Smith's death, an "historical -- cuum" still surrounds her. The two Latter-da- y Saint homemakers joined forces four years ago to write a biography they felt was overdue. Though they began as amateur historians, they have recently presented their research at professional, historical conferences and published their findings in professional and popular journals. In this lecture-semina- r, the authors will focus on Emma Smith as a spiritual and organizational leader of Mormon women, and assess the extent to which her relationship with leading church brethren affected attitudes toward women in two churches: The LDS Church and the Reorganized LDS Church. Briefly responding to the Newell-- very lecture will be L. Madelon Brunson, archivist, RLDS History Commission Library-Archive- s and Carol Cornwall Madsen, Historical Associate, LDS Church Historical Department. Following the discussion by the historians the audience may speak with the scholars. This public discussion is an integral part of the the purpose of which is series of "to acquaint the public with the process of writing history by affording professionals and laymen alike the opportunity to discuss historical questions that still impinge on Utah's culture." Other Vital Questions In Mormon History to be discussed in this series include "Was the Mormon Indian policy successful? featuring Eugene E. Campbell at Cedar City and St. George (January 1980); and "How did Brigham Young exercise prophetic leadership in a secular world?" featuring Ronald K.
