About this eBook
2018 marks the twentieth anniversary of V-Day, the radical grassroots movement to end violence against women and girls, inspired by Eve Ensler's international sensation The Vagina Monologues. This special edition features six never-before-published monologues, a new foreword by National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson, a new introduction by the author, and a new afterword by One Billion Rising director Monique Wilson on the stage phenomenon's global impact.
A landmark work in women's empowerment, as relevant as ever after a year marked by unprecedented social and political protest in the face of unapologetic racism and misogyny, The Vagina Monologues honours women's sexuality in all its complexity, mystery and power. Witty and irreverent, compassionate and wise, this award-winning masterpiece gives voice to real women's deepest fantasies, fears, anger and pleasure, and calls for a world where all women are safe, equal, free and alive in their bodies.
'This play changed the world. Seeing it changed my soul. Performing in it changed my life'

Poorly written, formatted and edited. Came across multiple spelling errors in the first few pages I read. Claimed a refund from Google play because quite frankly this is not worth £6. Content and idea of the book would have been fantastic had it been executed better.

Moving. A book that touches you deeply on an emotional level. It provokes thoughts and discussion on a topic one would usually consider to be taboo; and challenges you to defy all that is conventional and traditional.

This is my first book since I joined Our Shared Shelf and I can say that this is a great book to be my first. I need to see the play.
