The fact I understand the context of 'quiverfull' scares me. I was a California liberal pastor who served on the pastoral staff of a conservative church in Oshkosh Wisconsin.
We had a whole contingent of parents who were into the Bill Gothard teachings. So, I mean it when I say congratulations to you for coming out as well as you have.
I know there are lots of stories you could tell. I will be listening...
Seriously, SO many of us went through this to various degrees. Reminds me of the monologue by Gloria, in Barbie, about how it's impossible to be a woman - both be beautiful and be modest...
It was great to hear your perspective and learn more about the women I know in my life who came from this background. Helps me understand better from the male perspective. Great read, thanks for sharing!

That 4th photo--SO HOLY.
"We said be attractive to your husband, didn't we????"
Clearly what we need is a cardigan over this open back situation.
Or a scarf. Over the back, arms, front, legs, feet....
