ABSTRACT
In an effort to eliminate oppression and violence against women, The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler has been produced as part of the V-Day movement in cities around the world since February 14, 1998. With 715 productions of The Vagina Monologues taking place in 2015, the play continues to serve as a reliable resource for these aims. The Vagina Monologues began as a play that sought to educate and empower women through vivid accounts of women’s experiences with sexuality and violence. Influenced by the feminist projects that preceded it, the play focuses on empowering and liberating women, much like the work of many second-wave feminists, through an adaptation of methods used by feminist theatre groups during the 1970s and early 1980s. In addition to looking at the cultural dimension of recognition and economic dimension of distribution, it is essential to consider how The Vagina Monologues approaches the third dimension of justice: the political.
