Book description
Mormonism has had a bit of a schizophrenic relationship with Emma Smith. Over 150 years, shes been seen as everything from a devil to the epitome of the stereotypical selfless at all times, saintly, angelically feminine Mormon woman (the apparent most-favored status of Mormonism today given some recent Mormon culture movies and books). This book is essentially the definitive work on her history and biography, and can be pointed to as one of, if not the cause of Emmas extremely positive (and oftentimes romantic) image prevalent in current mormondom. Prior to its release, not much of good was published on Emma Smith. This project took on the expanse of her life, originally clocking in at thousands of pages, and finally painted a real picture of Emma Hale Smith Bidamon, warts and all, as they say. Thats the essential backdrop for the biography. Much inside of this book may be new and fairly shocking to those who have no to little knowledge of early LDS Church history, particularly concerning the initial practice of polygamy. Regardless, much of the book revolves around the effects of polygamy on Emmas life, relationships and psyche, as it must, since the issue was central to her lifes struggle. Without going into further detail about its entirety, I will give a quick review of my thoughts on the book. First of all, I appreciated the thorough work the authors completed, which helped me gain a full picture of Emma and her struggles. This woman was a saint in every sense of the word. I dont believe that she was perfect, by no means. During my reading, though , I kept thinking of and comparing her to Job - though, I think Job may have had it easier, to be quite frank. Within the framework of the book, there were certainly times where I felt the authors new-found kinship with Emma biased them to her cause, and at times, she seemed too untouchably perfect, while other players (particularly Brigham Young) came off a bit too dastardly. Still, this bent was minor and forgivable. I was blown away by Emmas charity. While many Mormons whisper the folklore of her pushing one or another of the Elizas down the stairs (dubious info, apparently), there is rarely real-world discussion of the sacrifices she made for others throughout her life and well into old age. For example, her second husbands (Lewis Bidamon) infidelity led to the birth of a child by a woman who was unable to care for the child. Emma forgave Bidamon, took the child into her own care and raised it as her own to protect it from any judgment of illegitimacy, and even invited Bidamons lover into her household so she could earn money cooking and cleaning and be close to her child (and apparently, the two women forged a loyal bond). This act, as many others related in the book, was simply astounding to me.In a nutshell, my view of Emma as a result of reading this book, is that she had an amazing aptitude for faith and charity, that she was minimally equal to Joseph in those areas, and that she was tried to an extent I hope to never have to experience. In the face of those trials, though, which extended throughout her entire life, there were times when she was plainly human - making dubious claims about her knowledge of the practice of polygamy to her son, Joseph Smith III, for example. For her humanity, I can lay no blame, and only admire and appreciate its beauty. This book is a page-turning look at a completely fascinating woman, perhaps one of Americas greatest women - which I say not due to bias as a Mormon, but because of the particular place she occupied in part of Americas history and because of the tragedies and triumphs of her life. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Mormon history, womens issues (particularly 18-19th century), or anyone interested in a fascinating character study. The key word in the title, Enigma, is very telling, indeed.
