The Good Girl Revolution


Kudos for Girls Gone Mild

Submitted by Margaret on Mon, 10/22/2007 - 18:57

As the mother of a 12 year old young woman I'm always looking for things to broaden my perspective.

The title of this book caught my eye as I browsed the shelf at the library. I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination but what I see passing as acceptable behavior in 7th grade is a little scary - dating at 12 years old and without supervision, mother's promoting the whole 'hottie' thing. It's really beyond my comprehension.

I want my girl to be well educated, happy, healthy and "cute" that's her choice) but we have our limits - and standards.

I'm glad to see a young woman writing about this topic in such a readable and interesting way.

Thanks again for your book.

Notable and Quotable

"Wendy Shalit’s first book, A Return to Modesty. . . created a storm when it was published nine years ago but whose influence can be detected in today’s campus chastity clubs, including here at Harvard. As a veteran of pro-sex feminism who still endorses pornography and prostitution, I say more power to all these chaste young women who are defending their individuality and defying groupthink and social convention. That is true feminism!"

— Camille Paglia, Harvard Feminism Conference Keynote, April 10 2008
