As a home schooling mother, I have lived a somewhat sheltered life from the type culture experiences that Wendy writes about in this book. This was an eye-opener for me, and a very helpful one, enlightening me about some of the things my daughters are experiencing of which I had no idea. My daughters may not even recognize some of the undercurrents of pressure to display themselves sexually.
Ms. Shalit offers thorough research of historical and philosophical developments of the independent woman, whereby the chivalrous gentleman has been societally marginalized. She describes how this has put women at risk, both sexually and criminally.
While not overtly Christian (I believe Ms. Shalit is Jewish), she writes with clearly Judeo-Christian standards as her foundation. If one does not value the natural differences between men and women, this book will be a turn-off. If the reader values, as I do, the traditional male-female relationship, and the virtues of protecting a woman's sexuality from predators, then this book should be of great interest.
Written in an enjoyable and easy-to-read-while-still-intellectual style, this book is recommended for every parent, and for every young woman who cares about her sexual future.

READING LEVEL given under "Book Information" is incorrect. This story is NOT for ages 4-8. GRADES 4-8 would be more accurate. Details of crew life aboard an 18th-century ship, mutiny, cruelty, executions - not the stuff for ages 4-8.
