Her unique blend of investigative reporting, personal revelation and unexpected humor has made her books bestselling classics. Her writing has broken ground and broken silences on topics as wide-ranging as miscarriage, motherhood, breast cancer, princess culture and the importance of girls' sexual pleasure. The New York Times bestselling author of Girls & Sex and Cinderella Ate My Daughter delivers her first ever collection of essays-funny, poignant, deeply personal and sharply observed pieces, drawn from three decades of writing, which trace girls' and women's progress (or lack thereof) in what Orenstein once called a "half-changed world." Named one of the "40 women who changed the media business in the last 40 years" by Columbia Journalism Review, Peggy Orenstein is one of the most prominent, unflinching feminist voices of our time.

The artist Edward Calvert met Blake around 1825 and commissioned this copy of Songs of Innocence and of Experience soon thereafter. This first group of Songs was shaped by the heady early days of the French Revolution, when British liberals and radicals believed that true reform was imminent on both sides of the Channel. The poetic voice is often that of a child, whose emotions range from delight to fear, with darker feelings usually resolved in the earlier Songs of Innocence by adult intervention. Verse and image work together to celebrate poetic inspiration and reveal aspects of the divine as expressed through nature. He then printed and hand-colored copies of the combined sets over succeeding decades as patrons ordered them, each one visually distinct. Blake etched twenty-seven printing plates for Songs of Innocence in 1789, completing those for the Songs of Experience in 1794.

Through the spiritual experience of study the mind takes on the order and rhythm of whatever it concentrates upon. Fasting is one means through which we open our spirits to the Kingdom of God and concentrate upon the work of God. Prayer is the life of perpetual communion. Through meditation we come to hear God’s voice and obey his word. They include both inward and outward experiences. These Spiritual Disciplines concern both group and individual life. As Elizabeth O’Connor has said, “no person or group or movement has vigor and power unless it is disciplined.” We must take up a consciously chosen course of action that places us before God in such a way that he can work the righteousness of the Kingdom into us. We need to go through a process of sowing to the Spirit, through the exercise of the classical Disciplines of the spiritual life. But such purity of heart does not just fall on our heads. In The Imitation of Christ Thomas à Kempis says, “The life of a good man must be mighty in virtues, that he should be inwardly what he appears outwardly to others.” We need God’s life and light to transform our inner spirit so that righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit begin to pervade all we are and think. 31, 2015, unresponsive in a bathtub by her husband and a friend and taken to an Atlanta-area hospital.
