Monologos de la Vagina / The Vagina Monologues

Considerado como una biblia por una nueva generaci�n de mujeres, Los mon�logos de la vagina es un libro agudo e irreverente. La obra maestra de Ensler que da voz a las fantas�as y los temores m�s profundos del sexo femenino. �Me preocupan las vaginas. Me preocupaba lo que pensamos sobre las vaginas, y lo que no pensamos acerca de ellas... De modo que decid� hablar a las mujeres acerca de sus vaginas, entrevistar a la vagina, y as� comenzaron los mon�logos de la vagina. �Habl� con m�s de doscientas mujeres. Habl� con mujeres ancianas, con mujeres j�venes, casadas, solteras, profesoras, actrices, profesionales, afroamericanas, hispanas, asi�ticas, jud�as... Al principio se mostraban renuentes, un poco t�midas. Pero una vez que empezaban, no hab�a modo de que parasen.� ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A landmark in women's empowerment--as relevant as ever after a year marked by unprecedented political protest--that honors female sexuality in all its complexity. "I was worried about vaginas. I was worried about what we think about vaginas, and even more worried that we don't think about them. . . . So I decided to talk to women about their vaginas, to do vagina interviews, which became vagina monologues. I talked with over two hundred women. I talked to old women, young women, married women, single women, lesbians, college professors, actors, corporate professionals, sex workers, African American women, Hispanic women, Asian American women, Native American women, Caucasian women, Jewish women. At first women were reluctant to talk. They were a little shy. But once they got going, you couldn't stop them." So begins Eve Ensler's hilarious, eye-opening tour into the last frontier, the forbidden zone at the heart of every woman. Adapted from the award-winning one-woman show that's rocked audiences around the world, this groundbreaking book gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, and thoroughly human stories, transforming the question mark hovering over the female anatomy into a permanent victory sign. With laughter and compassion, Ensler transports her audiences to a world we've never dared to know, guaranteeing that no one who reads The Vagina Monologues will ever look at a woman's body the same way again.
