The Good Girl Revolution


Brown Women and Girls are Modest Too

Submitted by Grace Potts on Thu, 06/19/2008 - 23:37

Hello Wendy-
I'm very excited to find your website. I've managed to find lots of tools, books and resources for raising modest, and self assured sons... But very little to support my daughter in her journey to adulthood.
Your books and resources truly are a gift. However, there aren't many brown faces among the delightful cartoons that animate your website. I wouldn't want my daughter to get the impression that she needs to have fair skin in order to be modest.
Thank you so much for your good work! Keep it up!
Sincerely Yours-
Mrs. Paul R. Potts (Grace)
Ann Arbor, MI

"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
