Eve Ensler – Honor a Woman Who Dared

NCJW — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:40:03 +0000

Eve Ensler, playwright, performer, and activist, is the author of The Vagina Monologues. Her experience performing The Vagina Monologues inspired her to create V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls.
Ms. Ensler has devoted her life to stopping violence, envisioning a planet in which women and girls will be free to thrive, rather than merely survive. The Vagina Monologues is based on Ensler's interviews with more than 200 women. With humor and grace the piece celebrates women’s' sexuality and strength.
