A Lecture

Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll: Saving The Youth ______From The Culture By A Return To Modesty______By Wendy Shalit Author 1999 Bestseller

A RETURN TO MODESTY DISCOVERING THE LOST VIRTUE:

"A heartfelt (and controversial) plea, insisting that the power to heal the American female's ills lies in the reinstatement of sexual restraint, resurrection of romantic ideals, and simple good manners...The message of this book is rarely heard, it is audacious." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Hers is not a back-to-the-corsets conservative creed, but rather a criticism of the scant respect that young men have for women...Shalit appeals for an end to exhibi­ tionism and one-night stands and intelligently promotes modesty in dress, etiquette, and morals as a means to a happier and more erotic life for women. Well-organized, briskly written advocacy. (Booklist)
