The Purity Myth

The United States is obsessed with virginity - from the media to schools to government agencies. This panic is ensuring that young women's ability to be moral agents is absolutely dependent on their sexuality. This book addresses this poignant issue. It argues that the country's intense focus on chastity is extremely damaging to young women.
