Elise Loehnen looks at the ways in which women have been penned by the fake morality of the sins, and how we find ourselves complicit in denying ourselves a full existence for fear of crossing some sort of line – of wanting too much, being too much, falsely equating ‘self-control’ with goodness. In this process of self-betrayal, she finds, we have also betrayed each other. A bold and daring denouncement of that which has been used to condemn ‘badly behaving’ women, ‘On Our Best Behaviour’ asks: what does it mean to be ‘good’, particularly as a woman, in today’s world? And if a sin is something that holds us separate from wholeness or experiencing our own full humanity, what should these sins look like today?
