20 TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES PROCEEDS FROM THE BOOK BENEFIT V-DAY “If you are a feminist, cry with this. If you are an ally, empathise with this. If you are uncomfortable with the label, understand why you are with this. This book encompasses why you are the way you are via many accounts. Heartbreaking, funny, truthful and unapologetic. I highly recommend it.” —@almightyalicia On 9 January, Ballantine Books in the US and Virago in the UK released the 20th Anniversary Edition of the book that started it all. The V20 edition features a new introduction by Eve and the Spotlight monologues written by Eve for V-Day activists, many previously unavailable in book form.
