The Purity Myth is a critique about why this is so, and why it's problematic for girls and women. Analyzing cultural stereotypes and media messages, Jessica Valenti reveals the overt and hidden ways our society links a young woman's worth to her sexuality rather than to values like honesty, kindness, and altruism."--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 306.73 Va Checked In Add Copy to MyList
