Vagina Monologues: Finding happiness in body and soul

One out of every three women on this planet will be beaten or rapped in her lifetime.  

1 in 3.

I was so grateful to be able to attend the Vagina Monologues this Valentine's Day.  Not only was it thought-provoking and terribly funny, but it was deeply moving to know that people around the country and the world were gathering to help end violence against women.

I encourage you to learn more about V-Day, a non-profit, grassroots movement dedicated to ending violence against women, which sprung forth from the Vagina Monologues.

In this great TED talk, Eve Ensler, tells her story of how the creation of the Vagina Monlogues inspired her to launch a global campaign to end violence against women, and how engaging deeply in the pain of the world, she was able to discover her own happiness. 




And you will want to watch this incredible follow-up TED Talk by Eve Ensler.  

Security and Insecurity

Playwright Eve Ensler explores our modern craving for security -- and why it makes us less secure. Listen for inspiring, heartbreaking stories of women making change.
