Modestly Yours

A woman who I admire is Wendy Shalit, author and culture revolutionizer. She has written Return to Modesty and Girls Gone Mild. She looks at modesty and chastity from a philosophical viewpoint and how it affects our culture (or basically how not abiding by these virtues affects our culture negatively). Shalit has several blogs, one of which is Modestly Yours, a group blog for women who value modesty. Unfortunately I have not kept up with this blog but I hope to start doing so. The post on October 10th (currently the latest one) is quite interesting. It is disturbing to see what companies do for media and attracting young people. Check it out for yourself. Occassionally I will be reflecting on some of her writings. What is neat is how there is Theology of the Body on one hand and Wendy Shalit on the other, both approaching chastity and modesty but from different angles. I'm sure they can be brought together into a relationship!
