While male authorities conducted the theoretical discussions about Home Literature, women set about writing the stories. Beginning in the mid-1880s with a tentative trickle of “Christmas” stories and sketches of ambiguous functionality, Home Literature gained steam rapidly. By 1890, the LDS youth magazines featured substantial amounts of fiction—between a fifth and a quarter of their contents, by one count, and throughout the decade this proportion increased. A majority of these stories were written by women, and Susa Young Gates was one of the most prolific of the Mormon home authors.
