'Vagina Monologues' V-Day performance to benefit South Suburban Family Shelter



Eve Ensler - Wikipedia
Twenty years ago, Eve's play The Vagina Monologues gave birth to V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against all women and girls cisgender, transgender, and gender non-conforming. The play and the playwright exploded onto the scene, garnering headlines and rave reviews, filling the theater night after night, breaking taboos, opening spaces for dialogue where they hadn't existed before, and shattering the silence around women's experiences with sexuality and violence. It was path-breaking. While working with women suffering from the ravages of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eve was stunned by a life-threatening diagnosis. Told with humor and grit, Eve's personal journey uncovers surprising connections between her body and the earth and how illness can be both transformative and transcendent.

Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives.
