Summary of Wendy Shalit's A Return to Modesty

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Modesty is not just about saying no to vulgarity; it’s about tapping into a reality that is richer and deeper, and building a world that is more beautiful. It is about choosing more empowering choices.

#2 Modesty is a choice, and to live a life of modesty is to live a powerful life. It is not something that is given to you when you take off your clothes, but rather when you humbly identify with others and extend yourself to become a more giving person.

#3 I grew up with the belief that being a woman was not all fun and games, but instead was filled with oppression. When I went to college, I found out that the feminists were not exaggerating, and that women were being raped.

#4 A modestynik is a modern single woman who was raised in a secular home, but suddenly starts wearing long skirts and announcing that she is now shomer negiah, which means she isn’t going to have physical contact with men before marriage.
