Description: "Vagina Warriors is a unique collaboration between playwright/activist/V-Day founder Eve Ensler, creator of the international hit The Vagina Monologues, and world-renowned photographer Joyce Tenneson, whose Wise Women changed the way people look at women and aging." "The book features Ensler's essays alongside Tenneson's portraits of V-Day activists, many of them well-known celebrities, with personal statements and quotations from the subjects. The celebrities featured include Glenn Close, Salma Hayek, Gloria Steinem, Isabella Rossellini, Jane Fonda, and numerous others." "Vagina Warriors work every day to undo suffering. They sit by hospital beds, pass new laws, write proposals, beg for money, demonstrate, and hold vigils in the streets. This book honors their work and is a call to action on behalf of women and girls around the world."--BOOK JACKET.
