Sisters in Spirit: Mormon Women in Historical and Cultural Perspective, ed. Maureen Ursenbach Beecher and Lavina Fielding Anderson

Amazing. Thoughtful, insightful, and faithful, all at the same time. Though sometimes the essays themselves aren't necessarily the highest form of scholarship--the final essay in particular fails to rise to this level, being mostly personal interviews with eight different Mormon women--they are still fascinating and well worth the read.
