      A landmark in women's empowerment, this work remains highly relevant in the #MeToo era, celebrating the complexity of female sexuality. The 2018 edition commemorates the twentieth anniversary of V-Day, the grassroots movement aimed at ending violence against women and girls, inspired by Eve Ensler's influential piece. This special edition includes six unpublished monologues, a new foreword by National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson, an introduction by the author, and an afterword by Monique Wilson, director of One Billion Rising, discussing the global impact of the stage phenomenon. Witty, compassionate, and wise, this award-winning masterpiece articulates women's deepest fantasies, fears, anger, and pleasure, advocating for a world where women are safe, equal, and free in their bodies. Praise highlights its significance, with The New York Times calling it "probably the most important piece of political theater of the last decade." Kerry Washington reflects on its transformative legacy, while Variety describes it as "spellbinding" and "almost unbearably moving." The Los Angeles Times notes Ensler's "impassioned wit," and the Chicago Tribune calls it an "extraordinary" rhapsody of female essence.
