Riassunto

Addressing such issues as botox, bulimia, and breast implants, this provocative play explores the anguish, obsessions, and vulnerabilities of women as they reflect on their relationship with their bodies, from an aging magazine executive and her desperate pursuit of youth to an L.A. woman being surgically reconstructed by her plastic surgeon spouse. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.

Recensione

Praise for Eve Ensler:
“Eve Ensler can soar to Rabelaisian heights or move us with quiet compassion. . . . She may not save the world, but what other playwrights even think of trying?”
–Time

Acclaim for The Vagina Monologues

“Spellbinding, funny, and almost unbearably moving . . . It is 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.”
–Variety

“The monologues are part of Eve Ensler’s crusade to wipe out the shame and embarrassment that many women still associate with their bodies or their sexuality. [They] are both a celebration of women’s sexuality and a condemnation of its violation.”
–The New York Times

“Women have entrusted Eve with their most intimate experiences. . . . I think readers, men as well as women, will emerge from these pages feeling more free within themselves–and about each other.”
–GLORIA STEINEM
