93 pg, paper, ’04 This is a funny, wisecracking, poignant play by the infamous Eve Ensler, best known as the author of “The Vagina Monologues.” Starting with Eve’s tortured feelings about her “post-forties” stomach (“it’s my most serious committed relationship”), she is joined by a variety of other women, including, but definitely not limited to: Helen Gurley Brown, a Puerto Rican woman from Brooklyn, a veiled Afghani woman willing to risk imprisonment for a taste of ice cream, a 40+ Jewish woman from Los Angeles, Isabella Rosellini, the wife of a plastic surgeon who recounts being systematically reconstructed, an African mother who celebrates body size, and an Indian woman who transcends treadmill mania. A fabulous read that would be perfect for groups. It will make you laugh out loud even while it stings REVIEWS. . . “Passionate, funny, frank, revealing, even shocking and genuinely committed to improving life on this planet.” —San Francisco Chronicle “A tour de force [of] guerilla feminism.”  —National Catholic Reporter
