The Dark Side of Purity is an anthology combination of two books. A collection of prose and poetry in one book (Volume 1), with a second book for comics and graphic poetry (Volume 2). These works come from a stand out team of women and non-binary creators from all corners of literature.

Inside these pages and panels you will find many different points of view on the traditional values of “purity,” “chastity,” and “womanliness.” These stories and poems shine a light on how society has used Purity Culture as a means of control, and how these creators feel about it. You’ll hear many different voices all lashing out against these tools of oppression and suppression.

All profits from The Dark Side of Purity are being donated to NARAL to help support the fight for reproductive rights.
