Vagina Warriors
About this book
Vagina Warriors is a unique collaboration between playwright/performer-activist/V-Day founder Eve Ensler, creator of the international hit The Vagina Monologues, and world-renowned photographer Joyce Tenneson, whose book Wise Women changed the way people look at women and aging.Every year from February to March, local activists raise awareness and funds through benefit productions of The Vagina Monologues and other events as part of V-Day, a global movement founded by Ensler. Vagina Warriors- people committed to ending violence against women and girls around the world- are at the heart of V-Day. This powerful book features Ensler's essay "Vagina Warriors: An Emerging Paradigm, An Emerging Species" alongside Tenneson's portraits of V-Day activists, many of them well-known celebrities, with personal statements and quotations from the subjects. The celebrities featured include Glen Close, Salma Hayek, Gloria Steinem, Isabella Rossellini, Jane Fonda, and numerous others.
