oh.

me when religious imagery and religious overtones and coming of age stories 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

wow.

“Womanhood is a burden. We must know our great responsibility, or it will be taught to us, and not gently. It is our duty as women to cover ourselves and hide these bodies so that we don’t tempt others to sin, or fall into vanity or lust ourselves. Not for flesh, not for knowledge or, like a stupid young girl, the world beyond. God gave us all burdens. And this is yours.”

mmm mmm do I love a book with religious undertones and a criticization of purity culture and modern conservative christianity
