She Deserves Better: Raising Girls to Resist Toxic Teachings on Sex, Self, and Speaking Up by Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach, Sheila Wray Gregoire, Joanna Sawatsky
5.0

Whether you have a daughter, or you have influence over someone's daughter, this book is for you. If you are an adult woman who grew up influenced by best-selling Christian books on gender roles, this book is for you.

I grieved and rejoiced reading this in preparation for taking my own daughters through it. I have come to believe that much of what I believed about the roles of women and girls and modesty and purity and more is not only wrong, but actively harmful -- to everyone.

My daughters deserve better, and this book is the right tool for the job.
