Review
"With humor, the author reveals how even in our let-it-all-hang-out western culture, virginity remains a hot topic." "--Sunday Herald"

Metro
"**** Fascinating ... manages to convey a muddled strand of cultural history with admirable calm and perspicacity"

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping read, 22 Oct 2007
By TLB (UK) - See all my reviews
Who knew an entire book on virgins could be so interesting? It's informative and an interesting read at the same time. Well-researched and constructed, it's not your typical academic book. Good for anyone who likes history / women's studies / understanding why we're so obsessed with virginity.
