Wikipedia description:
Eliza Roxey Snow (January 21, 1804 – December 5, 1887) was one of the most celebrated Latter-day Saint women of the nineteenth century. Greatly respected within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, she was a poet, chronicled history, celebrated nature and relationships, and expounded scripture and doctrine. Snow was married, first to Joseph Smith as a plural wife, then to Brigham Young after Smith's death. Snow was the second Relief Society general president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which she reestablished in the Utah Territory in 1866. She was also the older sister of Lorenzo Snow, the LDS Church's fifth president.
