Susan Christensen Oral History

Susan Christensen Oral History

Mormonism, Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints, Community of Christ

A 29 year old private school teacher, Susan Christensen is a lifelong Mormon and Kansas native. Her perspective is that of a white, old stock (polygamist pioneer descent), orthodox Mormon, but also that of a political liberal and hence somewhat of an outsider in a mostly conservative church. Her experience can serve to dispel some myths about the stereotypical lifestyle and views of a Mormon woman, as Susan is very dedicated to the religion but also very much a feminist. The interview took place in her private residence in town.
