coralrose 's review for:
The Witness Wore Red: The 19th Wife Who Brought Polygamous Cult Leaders to Justice
by M. Bridget Cook, Rebecca Musser
This was really good. Really disturbing, but good.
I thought that the best part of this was the perspectives on how women can be controlled by a religion. I think this should be required reading for anyone who says that women in oppressive religions should just leave. That doesn't account for the fact that if you have no education, are kept constantly pregnant or nursing, are kept captive by threats to your children or family, then you may not make the same choices that someone with a healthy support system does.
That is, check your privilege at the door when making judgments about how people "should" behave in cult or heavily controlled situations.
