CHAPTER

Joseph's Approach to Plural Marriage

In this chapter, they discuss examples of women who were approached about plural marriage but did not accept Joseph's or other men's proposals. They provide evidence that women were not pressured into plural marriage, citing specific cases where women turned Joseph Smith down and their reputation was not ruined. They also mention two cases where Joseph was accused publicly, but the ambiguity and silence surrounding their responses allowed for different interpretations. Overall, they argue that there was no verbal threat or explicit pressure from Joseph towards these women.
