Originally published in 1999, A Return to Modesty sparked a global conversation by thoughtfully challenging the hook-up culture and affirming modesty as a meaningful, natural instinct. In this updated edition, Wendy Shalit explores how modesty remains relevant amid today’s blurred public-private boundaries, offering both a personal and intellectual case for its revival. |

The non-fiction book claims that the power to heal women's purported ills lies in reinstatement of sexual modesty, the resurrection of romantic ideals, and conservative manners. |
