Everything about Wendy Shalit totally explained
Wendy Shalit (born
1975) is an
American author.
Born in
Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, she's the sister of writer
Ruth Shalit and Mina Shalit. She graduated from
Williams College with a BA in Philosophy.
Her articles on cultural and literary topics have appeared in
Commentary,
The Wall Street Journal and
Slate.
She is the author of the book
A Return to Modesty: Discovering the Lost Virtue, published by Free Press in 1999. Her book has attracted much controversy, most notably earning her attacks from
Katha Pollitt in
The New York Times and
Larry Flynt in
Hustler magazine, where she was awarded the
A--hole of the Month title.
At the same time, Shalit received many letters of support from young women who were disenchanted with the
sexual revolution, prompting her to start an online support forum called ModestyZone.net. ModestyZone hosts the ModestlyYours blog, with 20 bloggers "of all ages and backgrounds whose voices are not normally heard in the mainstream (or even non-mainstream) media."
Mona Charen has called ModestlyYours an "antidote to the vulgarity that's shoved in our faces from magazine covers, television, raunch radio, movies, and shows. . . Shalit names a "rebel of the month" on the site, choosing young women who exemplify modesty, intelligence, and integrity.They are the counter counterculture -- and not a minute too soon."
Shalit's second book,
Girls Gone Mild: Young Women Reclaim Self-Respect and Find It's Not Bad to Be Good, was released on June 26th, 2007.
She currently lives with her family in
Toronto, Ontario.
