Leave the Dishes in the Sink: Adventures of an Activist in Conservative Utah

Progressive feminist activist Thorne discusses the challenges of working for social change in a small-town Mormon community. She explores both personal and social issues as she recounts her youth in Oregon during the 1920s, her move to Utah with her new husband, and her commitment to the feminist, anti-war, environmental, and anti- poverty movements. She emphasizes her accomplishments in working with members of her community to promote on-the-ground social change within the context of larger social battles. Annotation c.
