Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24 https://www.patreon.com/132Problems Likely the most obscure, mysterious, and least known "laws" of the restored gospel, the Law of Sarah (D&C 132:65) features prominently in polygamist doctrine. We are taking a deep dive to try to understand what this law might mean, how it has been interpreted, and how it has been applied.

If we want to really hear women, we need to look at the differences between their public statements and their private sentiments, and consider what influences and pressures they were facing. We also need to contrast their earlier, less experienced statements with their later statements, made after their beliefs had been shaped by painful experience.
