As I started reading it, it turned out to be something different then I thought. Before reading it, I heard that it’s a drama. It’s designed to be act on a stage. It’s true, it’s a fine drama. But, I didn’t know that it’s all about Vaginas, which have all different names like: pussycat, pooki, poopi, peepe, monkey box, etc. the list goes on and on. It was little uncomfortable for me to read this book, but I read. It’s probably more uncomfortable for men to read. I think Eve Ensler wrote this book to get women aware of their body parts or I would say the most precious part (vagina). This book is also a one big step against protecting women, which would probably make men ashamed of raping women. Ensler interviewed over 200 women of all ages asking them what they think about their vaginas. She talked about all different age stages of women lives or I would say vagina. She talks about in what age what happens. I think she wants women to know that what precise thing they have and it should be a big topic to talk publically without any shame. She wants women to become more open, fearless, and be able to protect their selves without others help.
I think she wants vaginas to be publicly performed, because she wants women to be aware of their body parts. She wants women to know what they have and what they are. I think there are a lot of women who don’t like to talk about their body parts or the things that make them embarrassed talking about. Ensler want these women to get rid of this fear and live a new fearless life. Through the stories, she wants the readers to respect women’ bodies not disrespect them by raping or harassing them by commenting on their body parts.
She wants vaginas to be physically embodied, because she thinks they are the most important part of women’s body. In the text she asked the interviewers that what would they call their vaginas and how would they dress them. In the stories she tells us about their physical characters and how she looks at it. They are women’s self respect. As long as they are safe, a woman has higher respect in people’s eyes, but once it’s looted by someone, the woman is disgraced. She wants women to give them name and dress them, and be aware of how they look. She wants to draw them. She wants women to know who they are and what their importance in their life. Without them a woman is not a woman. She wants them to be physically embodied, so that women shouldn’t be ashamed of them, it’s what that’s given by the God. It tells you about the thoughts you have about your body and how you look at it.
I think the affect of the way we see or think of vaginas is for everyone at different age is different. It depends on how women look at it, what they call them, how they dress them, or how they treat them. According to Ensler there were some old ladies who didn’t really pay attention to their vagina or looked at them. These women who never really pay attention to their vaginas, they are probably not comfortable talking about them or believe in embodying their vaginas physically. The women who know the importance of their vaginas, they probably think more deeply about them and know the value of what they have. Every woman has same body parts and most of the women go though the same consequences in life. So being a woman we should be aware of our important parts of body.
