-"Spellbinding,funny, and almost unbearably moving . . . it is both a work of art and an
incisive piece of cultural history, a poem and a polemic, a performance and a
balm and a benediction." —Variety
-“In the current era, it takes some brain racking to think of anyone else doing anything quite like Ensler. She’s a countercultural consciousness-raiser, an empowering figure,
a truth-teller.” –Chicago Tribune
-“Eve Ensler wants to save the world…and don’t even think of getting in her way.” -New York Times Magazine
