Summary
'Virgin Nation' historicises the contemporary purity movement by examining how earlier movements established the rhetorical and moral frameworks utilised by the leading purity organisations, True Loves Waits and Silver Ring Thing. This historical investigation reveals that purity work over the last two centuries has developed in concert with widespread fears of changing traditional gender roles and sexual norms, national decline, and global apocalypse.
