EDITORS COMMENTS
. This sepia-toned portrait captures the essence of Ann Eliza Young, a remarkable woman who defied societal norms and fought tirelessly for women's rights in the late 19th century. Standing with poise and confidence, she exudes strength that transcends time. As the 19th wife of Brigham Young, leader of the Mormon Church, Ann Eliza experienced firsthand the complexities of polygamy within her community. However, instead of succumbing to its constraints, she bravely chose to leave her marriage and became an outspoken advocate against this practice. Her courageous decision sparked controversy but also ignited a movement towards gender equality.
