My feeling on the Vagina Monologues, having had so much experience with it is this, I do not feel that it should be so heavily critiqued. Not only from the old men sitting in their big chairs wondering what is happening to the world, but also by women like us. I am not exactly a feminist, though I think I strive to be. I do feel, however, that this book is a celebration, as joe said, and that it is only one aspect of womanhood. I know that for each book we read we find what exactly is missing, but I feel that if every book included everything, all the books would be the same. I like that the Vagina Monologues are left open. I appreciate that Eve (as though we are on a first-name basis) allows for the reader to take and give whatever they are willing, no more, no less. I think that though we are scholarly students, we, as women and supporters of women, should see the beauty and courage in writing and reading something like this. It is a freedom we have fought hard ofr, and so what if Eve did not cover every ground. She put something out there she felt was important, and I admire her for doing so.
