This book was published while I was a sophomore in high school. Reading this now, aged 22 and a recent college grad, I am horrified to see, by the numbers, that I wasn’t alone in what I thought and experienced. This book hurt in all the right ways. I found this to be a brilliant introduction to the deeply nuanced issue of young women and sex. This book validated my experiences, taught me about some horrific aspects of our society, and overall inspired me. I am currently writing an article on women‘s virtue during the Renaissance, and the chapter on purity culture was deeply inspiring for my project.
The first thing I did after finishing this book was order Orenstein’s “Boys and Sex.” I cannot wait to learn more. Overall, I really enjoyed this book, despite the tragic issues and phenomena it covers. Although this book is targeted at young women and mothers, I think anybody can learn something from this.
