She is also the founder of One Billion Rising, the biggest global mass action campaign to end violence against women in human history, which is active in more than two hundred countries, and the co-founder of the City of Joy, the revolutionary leadership center for survivors of gender violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“Probably the most important piece of political theater of the last
decade.”—The New York Times
“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.”—Kerry Washington
“Spellbinding, funny, and almost unbearably moving. . . . Written
with a bluntness that is nevertheless intensely lyrical, 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
“Frank, humorous and moving . . . a compelling rhapsody of the
female essence. Ultimately, Ensler achieves something
extraordinary.”—Chicago Tribune
“Often wrenching, frequently riotous. . . . Ensler is an
impassioned wit.”—Los Angeles Times
“Women have entrusted Eve with their most intimate experiences,
from sex to birthing. . . . I think readers, men as well as women,
will emerge from these pages feeling more free within
themselves—and about each other.”—Gloria Steinem
“Eve Ensler is the Pied Piper. She is leading women and the world
to a different
consciousness of the essence of women.”—Gillian Anderson
“I feel my life has changed. You don’t just hook up with Eve, you
become part of her crusade. There’s a corps of us who are Eve’s
army.”—Glenn Close
