Eve Ensler, bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues, has won an Obie Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, an Amnesty International Media Spotlight Award and numerous other major recognitions for her artistic and anti-violence work. Celebrities who have performed in The Vagina Monologues include Whoopi Goldberg, Glenn Close, Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon and Oprah. Her 2006 play The Treatment, dealing with the trauma resulting from participation in military conflict, starred her adoptive son Dylan McDermott. Her book Insecure At Last: Losing It In Our Security-Obsessed World, emerged in 2006.
I Am An Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World is a daring and brilliantly provocative celebration of the authentic voice inside every girl, and an inspiring call to action for girls everywhere to speak up, follow their dreams, and become the women they were meant to be.
"Like a woman claiming her body, a girl claiming her emotions breaks a silence and unleashes a vast resource of clean energy, an energy that can inspire all of us to transform and heal the world." - Carol Gilligan
"Women have entrusted Eve with their most intimate experiences, from sex to birthing. I think readers, men as well as women, will emerge from these pages feeling more free within themselves- and about each other." - Gloria Steinem
"In the current era, it takes some brain racking to think of anyone else doing anything quite like Ensler. She a counter-cultural consciousness-raiser, an empowering figure, a truth-teller." - Chicago Tribune
"Nobody brings sharp, witty, knowing voice to the plight of women in our country and around the world like Ensler." - Marie Claire
