In Wikipedia:
The plots of both books revolve around the victimization of women in the Mormon culture: events in “Riders of the Purple Sage” are centered on the struggle of a Mormon woman who sacrifices her wealth and social status to avoid becoming a junior wife of the head of the local church, while “Rainbow Trail” contrasts the fanatical older Mormons with the rising generation of Mormon women who will not tolerate polygamy and Mormon men who will not seek it.
