The Vagina Monologues is a compilation of monologues written by Eve Ensler in which all the monologues deal with the vagina. It includes everything that women around the world face, whether it's humorous, tragic or disturbing. Including sex, rape, menstruation, masturbation, orgasm, and even women's comfort level with their own bodies. Some have said that The Vagina Monologues has been celebrated as the bible for a new generation of women. I would have to agree with such a statement. Yes, in part it was meant to be funny and connect with women around the world, but it's also to let women who have been abused and raped know that it's not okay but everything will be okay. Not forgetting to continually raise awareness that it is not acceptable for people to do this to anyone and that violence against women must stop. Before this course, I had come across this book and seen a special DVD and even read a few of them. items. My best recollection is that Eve Ensler worked on the monologues she encountered with friends and then interviewed over a hundred women. She was able to hear their perspectives and experiences about being a woman. From their relationship experiences to how they felt about sex and their views on abuse. She was always interested in the vagina and wanted to be able to empower women. Thanks to this, she was able to create this brilliant book. I also believe that every year more monologues are added to the collection. I believe The Vagina Monologues helped the feminist movement. It gave a new voice to women around the world. It gives hope to many, as well as encouragement and empowerment. The vagina monologues as well as empowerment have also sparked a lot of controversy. It tends to be practiced at colleges and universities across the country, with one particular example being Utah Valley University. This is the fifth year in a row that they have performed The Vagina Monologues, as noted in one of their school articles: “Many find it unnecessary and grotesque, tearing down advertising posters from the walls to show their disapproval; others believe the truth lies in the stories he tells, shaming rape and highlighting important issues for women, like love and abuse. » (Hopkinson, 2008).
