Sisters Not Wives

Welcome to Sisters Not Wives! A channel exploring the complex, often untold history of polygamy through the eyes of the women who lived it.

We’re diving deep into the lived experiences, voices, and legacies of the people who were part of early Mormon polygamy — not just the well-known names, but also the forgotten sisters, daughters, and wives whose stories have been lost in footnotes. From secret marriages to public revelations, we trace the timeline from the church’s founding to the end of the official practice in 1904 and beyond.

This isn’t just about dates and doctrines — it’s about agency, power, survival, and sisterhood. Whether you’re here for the history, the drama, or the healing, we’re telling the stories the history books overlooked.
