Feminine Beauty as Displayed by Daughters of the King
When a lady gives her life to Jesus Christ, she is born into the family of God. Her identity changes; she is now a daughter of the King. She seeks to please her Lord in every aspect of life. Her clothes, attitudes, and goals reflect the purity and beauty of a princess. What does this look like in a practical way? How can a Christian woman display modesty in an attractive and feminine way? What principles can protect her from giving in to the pressures of culture? Explore the history of clothing in culture, the factors that have influenced changes, and how a Godly woman should respond to our culture.

This book is full of inconsistencies, logic that doesn't hold up, and conclusions that are jumped to from a long ways away with very little evidence.
I found this book to be incredibly degrading to women (and men honestly). The author blames everything from pedophilia and child porn to rape on the feminist movement (and not the feminist movement as it is now ... The 1920s feminist movement.). She makes huge generalizations about women and men, and their motives. She blames women for the abuse of women, and makes ridiculous comparisons like this:"sight is to a man what touch is to a woman" and goes on to say that you letting a man see you dressed immodestly, is the same to him as rape would be too you.
I can't think of a single situation I would recommend someone to read this book, especially not a new Christian, or a young woman.
If you want to learn about modesty and God's design for women's beauty and sexuality, please do not read this book.
Thank You.

you will most likely either love or hate this book, there is rarely an in between. i personally did not find this book to live up to expectations. and i've talked with quite a number (i believe at least 15-20 from a number of different backgrounds, and this is only in person that i know) of ladies that would agree with me.
i found that a more fitting title for the book would probably have been "feminine ugliness" as it talks a great deal on how wicked femininity can be, the evils of feminism, and how corsets were torture devices (they weren't. they were basically just bras). there were a few good points in there, but instead of having a healthy balance of both the beauty and the ugliness, the author tipped much to far into the side of ugliness, to the extent that some of it was just flat out wrong. the author also cherry picked throughout the history of fashion and feminism to try to prove her point, in some places using things as "proof" even though it was illogical and didn't connect. if i had a 13-14 yo daughter i wouldn't let her read this book, unless we did it together and talked through all of it.
unfortunately i feel that what comes across mainly is that we women are the cause of all our own problems, that we must hide away who we are, and that if a man sins well, that's on us.
