EMMA WATSON’S FEMINIST BOOKCLUB,
OUR SHARED SHELF,
FEATURES THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES
Emma Watson chose The Vagina Monologues for her Our Shared Shelf book club.
She also interviewed Eve for a 4-part series published on ELLEUK.COM. The pair
discussed topics as far ranging as the activism the book helped to create; the
dangers of patriarchy; a woman’s right to choose; Eve’s trips to Bosnia and
Croatia to meet survivors of wartime rape; life under Donald Trump; the importance
of an artistic uprising; why those who wish to cause a revolution must dance; and
the ideological and literal assaults on women’s vaginas.
