This book and the accompanying play came about as a result of hundreds of interviews with women of all ages and the selected stories are told with love and great respect for these women. Some of the stories are amusing some of them are serious. But all of them carry a message and it's a message that men need to get more than anyone. The Vagina Monologues lead to the seting up of VDay an organization to stop violence towards women and girls and it has helped to raise money for local groups and awareness all over the globe. The book is forworded by Gloria Steinem who campains tirelessly for women's rights. This book proves that you don't need to be an English literature graduate in order to write a great work and a great work doesn't have to be stuffy. This book is entertaining and easy to read and it makes you think. What more can I say?Read full review

I read this book many years ago and have seen VM three times on stage. Compelling book and not always an easy read but tackles vital issues which still affects us today

This is a good and touching book about the feminine spirit taking another spiral towards self respect and taking heart in a still male dominated culture. It shows how woman can think respectfully of their female parts instead of all the derogatory thinking that was inherited from our past. Recommended reading
