Vagabond VirginsIt was perhaps unheard of in 1964 for two young blonde Mormon girls from Salt Lake City to hitchhike though the Middle East. My sister and I were driven by a desire for adventure to see the world beyond Utah. But we wanted to remain Mormons, to be able to return to our family, our culture, the world we belonged to.

It was perhaps unheard of in 1964 for two young blonde Mormon girls from Salt Lake City to hitchhike though the Middle East. My sister and I were driven by a desire for adventure to see the world beyond Utah. But we wanted to remain Mormons, to be able to return to our family, our culture, the world we belonged to. In order to do this, we had to keep our virginity. The Mormon religion requires a temple marriage to enter the Celestial Kingdom in the next life. You cannot be married in the Mormon temple if you are not a virgin. You not only lose your chance of going to the Celestial Kingdom, you risk becoming an outcast from your family as well as your church.

Staying pure proved to be very difficult because we traveled only with boys. And as we formed romantic attachments to some of those boys, our struggle to stay chaste became harder and harder, even as we became more and more determined not to lose our virginity. We traveled through Egypt, Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Turkey, and then to Greece, Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Germany, and finally to Spain and Morocco. We had adventures in cultures very different from Mormon America, but we did not want to become exiles from our own roots. We thought we would return to Salt Lake City to marry good Mormon men and become mothers.

This memoir is about our realization, like that of other young women in the early Sixties, that our lives were not our own; they had been determined by the patriarchal culture weÕd grown up in. As our horizons broadened, we saw that we no longer had to be bound by the narrow confines of Mormonism. We could strike into territory that was perhaps dangerous, certainly unknown, but was of our own choosing.

Snazzy shirt
Size: Large, Color: Black
Fits great & looks wonderful. Can be worn casually or for work. Very wrinkly, just toss it in the dryer and they will come right out. It's lightweight & cool.

Great shirts have to iron first
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Black
They feel great the material, they’re thin, the style looks good, the length to and below my waist is good. For the cost they’re good shirts and they’re definitely loose fitting, however they shove them in a tight bag so if you plan on wearing this straight away from delivery day make sure you have an iron ready every single collar and I ordered over 7 shirts comes folded over. Took a star away for the fact they don’t pack them how you would find a higher price shirt packed and typically wear ready.

Perfect!
Size: Large, Color: Beige
Cool, comfortable, with a little stretch. Comes out of the dryer wrinkle free (be sure to hang it up right after you take it out of the dryer) price was reasonable. I measured my husband's neck and it fit exactly as it should. Good length to the back of it too, which is sometimes a problem for my husband. Do not see any quality issues. Not excessively thin or too thick. Really, I can't think of any way to improve on this shirt.

Nice and light with superior softness!
Size: Large, Color: Black
Nice soft material and fits well. I also like the lightweight feel. Will most likely buy other colors in this item.
