Description

"The Purity Myth" is a documetary produced by one of this year's Building Bridges Keynote speakers, Jessica Valenti.

"In a wide-ranging analysis that moves from 'purity balls' and the abstinence movement to right-wing attacks on Planned Parenthood and women's reproductive health care, Valenti targets the persistent patriarchal assumption that men know what's best for women -- and that a woman's worth depends on what she does, or does not do, sexually."
