With the release of the Polygamy essays, and major news outlets covering the number of wives, it becomes glaringly apparent that the individual struggles and stories of the women behind the number "40 wives" has been forgotten by most of the church members, or willfully ignored. Meanwhile, Joseph's first wife, Emma, has statues and pictures in temples,young women's rooms, and visitor centers.



This petition is to ask the LDS church to add the women, and their stories to the visitor centers, the statues, the manuals, the hand books, the young women's rooms, and everywhere else so that their personal struggles, successes and stories can be just as well known.
