I do not feel that this book is controversial at all. It is a celebration of female sexuality and a critique of violence against women. I feel the criticism of Eve Ensler stems from traditionally conservative attitudes to sex. It recognizes that vaginas do exist, it's like a reconnection, making us aware that vulvas are a part of women and sacred, connected to the mind and not a shameful thing, and that "vagina" itself is not a dirty word. I think the work was a milestone in raising the profile of the rights of women. Though some have suggested changing the title, to some extent, the title of the play is a significant part of the whole. Looking forward to the rest of it.
