July 5 at 7:30 PM
Join us to celebrate the release of A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer: Writing to Stop Violence Against Women and Girls, a groundbreaking collection of monologues by world-renowned authors and playwrights, edited by Eve Ensler and Mollie Doyle.
On July 5, contributors and special guests include Abiola Abrams, Periel Aschenbrand, Ed Blunt, Nicole Burdette, Eisa Davis, Carol Gilligan, Elizabeth Lesser, Dylan McDermott, and Susan Miller.
A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant and a Prayer's diverse voices rise up in a collective roar to break open, expose, and examine the insidiousness of violence at all levels: brutality, neglect, a punch, even a put-down. The volume features such authors and topics as: Edward Albee on S&M; Maya Angelou on women¹s work; Michael Cunningham on self-mutilation; Dave Eggers on a Sudanese abduction; Edwidge Danticat on a border crossing; Carol Gilligan on a daughter witnessing her mother being hit; Susan Miller on raising a son as a single mother; Sharon Olds on a bra; Patricia Bosworth on her own physically abusive relationship; Jane Fonda on reclaiming our Mojo; and many more.
