So far this book because is less about "purity culture" and more about evangelical church culture (particularly, social reinforcement of gender expectations) and its influence on religious girls and women-- yet the author continually tries to point to the purity movement as a culprit rather than church leadership/teachings outside of that movement alone.

I think some historical context would help develop the author's argument, as otherwise the book becomes largely a record of personal accounts during the experience of evangelical women/girls during the 90s - 2000s.
