The Vagina Monologues

Drawing on her conversations with hundreds of women about their genitalia, the author presents a collection--by turns hilarious, irreverent, and poignant--of performance pieces from her award-winning one-woman show which give voice to real women's deepest fantasies and fears, and ultimately celebrate female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery. Performed by Eve Ensler. Reissue.

EVE ENSLER's Obie Award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues, currently enjoying a sold-out run at Off-Broadway's Westside Theatre and playing in theaters all over the world, initiated V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women. Ensler's performance of The Vagina Monologues will be seen on HBO in 2001. Her play Necessary Targets has had benefit performances on Broadway, at the National Theater in Sarajevo, and at the Kennedy Center, and will open in New York this year. Other plays include Lemonade, The Depot, Floating Rhoda and the Glue Man, Extraordinary Measures, Ladies, and Scooncat. She is working on a new book and play, The Good Body. Ensler received a 1999 Guggenheim Fellowship in Playwriting. She lives in New York City with her partner, Ariel Orr Jordan.
