A powerful and essential read. This play holds the real stories of millions of women who have experienced awful sexual violence and who join millions of others seeking to reclaim and celebrate the word vagina.

Despite some social elements of the foundation of this play being a bit outdated, this is still a really great read. I would highly recommend specifically reading the 20th Anniversary edition, as it has some wonderful additional history information as well as more inclusive language and frameworks in the additions. 
The actual monologues within the play are so so well done, heartbreaking, empowering. Sadly I feel this is still a must read, even 20 years later.

The actually monologues were good, an interesting look into feminism 20 years ago. The bits at the end about the extent of the vday project were the most interesting
