Vagina Monologes

Eve, the author, explains through her monologues the duality of women. For example, how their vaginas give them empowerment yet they have insecurities about it. It causes them great pleasure yet other times causes them great pain. Sometimes they use it to exploit themselves. For example, to get what they want i.e. money or status in society. Other times they get raped or men use them for sexual needs and to hurt them emotionally. The purpose of the monologues is to make men and women aware of the struggle women face with their vaginas whether it be in America, Africa (where they are circumsized), or a third world country (where women are raped and cannot freely express themselves). These presentations of the Vagina Monologes have been going on for ten years to help make people more aware of the issues women face in society. The Vagina Monologes will not end until violence against women ceases.
