The Book of Once-Mormon Women

Edited by Katie Stringham and Sue Johnson

The Book of Once-Mormon Women compiles the compelling voices of thirty women reflecting on their complex transitions away from Mormonism. Each piece is raw, heart-­wrenching, and sublime. A compilation of expressive forms and perspectives, this book explores many issues faced by women in Mormonism: gender, race, agency, sexual orientation, faith, authority, and belonging. The authors add complexity—and answers—to the question: Why do people leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? The book also examines the myriad paths taken by the writers on their journey out of the faith—and the hope, peace, and restoration they’ve found beyond it.

Contributors: Tia Levings, Julie de Azevedo, Lindsay Hansen Park, Chelsea Homer, Gina Colvin-Ruwhiu, Celeste Davis, Sue Johnson, Alanna Argudo, Sara Bybee Fisk, Katie Stringham, Saane Siale, Samantha Shelley, Wendy Montgomery, Dee-Dee Darby-Duffin, Stephanie Brinkerhoff, Sarah Newcomb, Lili Ribeira, Mariama Nadworna, Jana Spangler, Megan McOmber, Meredith Peterson, Margaret M. Toscano, Sal Osborne, Lena Osborne, Amanda Scott, Ashmae Hoiland, Amy McPhie Allebest, Laurie Lee Hall, Sandra Violet, Claudine Foudray, Natasha Helfer, and Brittney Hartley.
