The international sensation, ""a compelling rhapsody of the female essence"" (Chicago Tribune), relaunched with new material for its 20th anniversary.

A landmark in women's empowerment-as relevant as ever in the age of #MeToo-that honors female sexuality in all its complexity

It's been more than twenty years since Eve Ensler's international sensationThe Vagina Monologuesgave birth to V-Day, the radical, global grassroots movement to end violence against women and girls.

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. 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.

Reviews for The Vagina Monologues: 20th Anniversary Edition

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
