Two of the most powerful pieces include a jagged poem stitched together from the memories of a Bosnian woman raped by soldiers and an American woman sexually abused as a child who reclaims her vagina as a place of wild joy. "I haven't been down there since 1953. She asked hundreds of women of all ages a series of questions about their vaginas (What do you call it? How would you dress it?) that prompt some wondrous answers. . Standouts among the euphemisms are tamale, split knish, choochi snorcher, Gladys Siegelman--Glady

I went with a British buddy, and both of us were fascinated by the reviews (and admittedly the topic).

The Vagina Monologues is taking major strides in breaking down the "taboo" that surrounds discussing and - God forbid - finding pleasure in your own body. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that asks (and even those that don't) as this should be at the very top of any feminist
Adapted from the award-winning one-woman show that's rocked audiences around the world, this groundbreaking book gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, and thoroughly human stories, transforming the question mark hovering over the female anatomy into a permanent victory sign. At first women were reluctant to talk. So I decided to talk to women about their vaginas, to do vagina interviews, which became vagina monologues. But once they got going, you couldn't stop them."So begins Eve Ensler's hilarious, eye-opening tour into the last frontier, the forbidden zone at the heart of every woman. They were a little shy.
