My first introduction to the concept of purity culture. A wonderful analysis of the secular implications of the abstinence movement and the purity movement of the Evangelical community.

Pure by Linda Kay Klein

A recent and popular publication that is both memoir and interviews. Klein articulates some of the thoughts and feelings that have resulted from purity culture that I could never put into words. A poignant and moving book.
