Dealing with Social Change: The Mormon Church's Response to Change in Women's Roles.
Iannaccone, Laurence R.; Miles, Carrie A.
Social Forces, v68 n4 p1231-50 Jun 1990
After two decades of resistance, the Mormon church has begun accommodating change in women's roles. Accommodation increases participation among younger and less experienced members but decreases participation among older and more experienced members, suggesting that successful churches must balance accommodation and resistance to social change. Contains 45 references. (Author/SV)
