The Vagina Monologues

<p><strong>A landmark in women's empowerment&mdash;as relevant as ever in the age of #MeToo&mdash;that honors female sexuality in all its complexity</strong><br /> <br />It's been more than twenty years since Eve Ensler's international sensation <em>The Vagina Monologues</em> gave birth to V-Day, the radical, global grassroots movement to end violence against women and girls. This special edition features six never-before-published monologues, a new foreword by National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson, a new introduction by the author, and a new afterword by One Billion Rising director Monique Wilson on the stage phenomenon's global impact. Witty and irreverent, compassionate and wise, this award-winning masterpiece gives voice to real women's deepest fantasies, fears, anger, and pleasure, and calls for a world where all women are safe, equal, free, and alive in their bodies.</p> <p><strong>Praise for <em>The Vagina Monologues</em></strong><br /> <br />"Probably the most important piece of political theater of the last decade."&mdash;<em><strong>The New York Times</strong></em></p> <p>"This play changed the world. Seeing it changed my soul. Performing in it changed my life. I am forever indebted to Eve Ensler and the transformative legacy of this play."&mdash;<em><strong>Kerry Washington</strong></em></p> <p>"Spellbinding, funny, and almost unbearably moving...both a work of art and an incisive piece of cultural history, a poem and a polemic, a performance and a balm and a benediction."&mdash;<em><strong>Variety</strong></em><br /> <br />"Often wrenching, frequently riotous....Ensler is an impassioned wit."&mdash;<em><strong>Los Angeles Times</strong></em><br /> <br />"Extraordinary...a compelling rhapsody of the female essence."&mdash;<em><strong>Chicago Tribune</strong></em></p>
