Promiscuities

by Naomi Wolf
Review by Brynn Haley, grade 10

Promiscuities is a book about what it's like to grow from inexperienced girls to sexually mature women in our western culture.  The pressures and problems we run into, the experiences we have, and the feelings and confusions we encounter along the way are all in the stories in this book.

Promiscuities is filled with real-life stories from women about their experiences growing from girls into women, and everything they went through.  As a teen girl, I can easily relate to the stories, and this book gives a lot of insight from women who have been where I, and all teenage girls, are at one point.

I found Promiscuities to be a very interesting read.  I enjoyed it a lot and learned from it too.  If you're a teenage girl, there is no doubt you can relate to these women in Promiscuities and can learn from them too.

  1. Brynn,

    I agree this was a really terrific and eye-opening book. I also really enjoyed Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth.

    Another book we have at the HHS Library along the same topic is Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity by Kerry Cohen.
