Chapman now works at the Church History Library, specializing in LDS women's history.In this episode, host Kirk Caudle interviews Chapman about the Church's 'Women of Faith' project, reasons women had for entering into polygamy, and why the history of LDS women is often neglected.To listen to this episode, 'Brittany Chapman on Women of Faith in the Latter Days,' right click here and select 'Save as.'You can subscribe to the Maxwell Institute Podcast through iTunes.
