Autorenporträt

Eliza R. Snow (1804–1887) was a prominent poet and leader in the Latter Day Saint movement and one of the most influential and celebrated Latter-day Saint women of the 19th century. Born in Becket, Massachusetts, Snow is often referred to as 'Zion's Poetess'. She played a crucial role in the development and expression of Latter-day Saint doctrine and was a close associate of both the movement's founder, Joseph Smith, and his successor, Brigham Young. Snow's literary contributions include hymns that are still used in the Latter-day Saint tradition. She was a staunch advocate for women's rights and played a vital role in the establishment of the Relief Society, a women's organization within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Eliza R. Snow's contributions extend into the historical record with her 'Biography and Family Record of Lorenzo Snow' (1884), which provides an in-depth look into the life of her brother, Lorenzo Snow, an important figure in the Latter-day Saint movement and the Church's fifth president. In this biographical work, she not only documents the life of her brother but also offers insights into the early history of the Latter-day Saint Church. Snow's literary style is reflective of her time, with an emphasis on religious conviction and poetic expression, capturing both the trials and spiritual fervor of the early Latter-day Saint community. Her writings continue to be a significant source of inspiration and historical understanding within the Latter-day Saint intellectual tradition.
