I read "The Shelter of Each Other" some time ago. Our society for all its so-called freedoms is still repressive to females in the sense that is takes away our inner strength by promoting fake appearances (make-up, fashion, weight/size) and pushing a desire to conform to these cheapened ideals. The older I get, the less I care about the trends and the stronger I feel as a woman. (I think this opinion is more than a penny's worth...just sayin') Mary Pipher is brilliant.

I totally agree, you would think that women would have it easier now but we definitely don't. The world now depicts girls as skinny, seductive, and perfect. It is so sad that if you wear a size 4 in womens you are considered fat, which is so not true. It is really sad that girls are having to go to the extremes just to fit into how America wants girls to be. I really liked your post! :) I have never heard of Mary Phiper before, she sounds like a talented and knowledgeable writer, I will have to check her books out at the library.

I think I need to read Ophelia. Even though she's only 3-1/2, I have a feeling I will need it soon! Love the last sentence.
