The Good Body
The Good Body is a play by Eve Ensler.
Contents
The original text
Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues, turns her unique eye to the rest of the female form. Whether undergoing botox injections or living beneath burqas, women of all cultures and backgrounds feel compelled to change the way they look in order to fit in. The play merges cross-cultural explorations with Eve's own personal journey coming to terms with her "less-than-flat, post-forties stomach."
