After clearing that up, the divide lies in does Beautiful Girlhood advocate God's standard or is it anothers? From what I could tell, BG was a great reminder of Gods beautiful gift of femininity and prepares a girl for the awesome role as wife/mother. Now that I am a wife/mother I'd like to look back and see if the book is as good as I remember. ...P.S. I am pretty traditional in my family views, that's just me!

In some ways, yes, it is just 'you' - it fits your ideals and your personality and is a good fit FOR YOU and many others. What can't be done is retro-fit what works for 'you', or any of the others that believe the way that VF does, and say it is 'God's beautiful gift' for every woman. There is a difference between a personal style and God's design. My life is a different calling - my husband is in law enforcement. Yes I cook, sew, knit, .... but my husband requires a strong wife, not a woman who can't handle 'whatever' comes.
