“Girls and Sex” and “Boys and Sex” by Peggy Orenstein These are books in which Peggy Orenstein interviews young people about all of their sexual experiences. I read “Girls and Sex” with my book club, and we were all a little bit devastated at how Peggy presented just how little fun any young women are having. It was a total wake-up call for me as a woman, as a parent, as an advocate and as an artist. Even right now with the Olympics, these are women who are doing the absolute most and best with their female bodies. This book clarified for me why I feel so strongly in my bones that reproductive rights are the basis for women’s equality.
