Reading Riders of the Purple Sage | Alexandria
Read Riders of the Purple Sage by Zane Grey. Challenging Mormon theocracy, Grey's iconic Western shatters expectations by tackling religious tyranny and women's autonomy in 1912 Utah. His progressive portrayal of Jane Withersteen defied the era's gender norms, while exposing how unchecked power corrupts faith - a warning that resonates eerily today in our polarized discourse about belief and control.
