Utah Humanities Council's Public Square presents Judy Shell Busk on 'The Sum of Our Past: Revisiting Pioneer Women.' For many, 'pioneer Utah women' brings to mind a stereotype-a courageous, hard-working, devout woman who willingly sacrificed for family and church. While there is truth in this image, this presentation explores the more complex picture that emerges from the pages of Utah history. Judy Shell Busk, an author, retired English teacher, and descendent of pioneer Utah women, will discuss one chapter from her book, The Sum of Our Past, depending upon the preferences of the audience. She will involve the audience in relating historical experiences to present conditions. Among the varied choices from the twenty-four chapters are 'Prominent Mormon Women,' 'Danish Immigration,' 'Native Americans,' 'Polygamy,' and 'African-American Converts to Mormonism.' Copies of the selected chapter will be made available in advance to interested audience members.
