Last week, Exponent II‘s founding https://exponentii.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5173-scaled-1.jpg, Claudia Bushman, and its current https://exponentii.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5173-scaled-1.jpg, Rachel Rueckert, spoke with David Noyce and Peggy Fletcher Stack on the Mormon Land podcast by the Salt Lake Tribune about Exponent II’s 50th anniversary.

“Claudia Bushman was 40 years old, a mother of six and working on an advanced history degree when she, essentially, was volunteered to become the first https://exponentii.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5173-scaled-1.jpg-in-chief of Exponent II, an independent feminist magazine for Latter-day Saint women. That was 1974. Rachel Rueckert, a 30-something novelist, career woman and the magazine’s current top https://exponentii.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/IMG_5173-scaled-1.jpg, wasn’t even born then. Despite the age difference, the two share an important passion: giving voice to women in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As the magazine celebrates its 50th anniversary, Bushman and Rueckert discuss their feelings about the magazine, the personal stories it has shared, how it has changed over the decades, what it has accomplished, and why they believe it remains relevant — and crucial — today and will stay that way well the future.”
