What’s New
A century after the young Franz Kafka set out to hold his abusive, narcissistic father accountable in an extraordinary letter he never actually sent to the living perpetrator, playwright, activist, and V-Day founder Eve Ensler confronts her own monstrously abusive father, long after his death, in The Apology.
Just days after she delivered the talk, Eve Ensler’s newest TED talk “The Profound Power of An Authentic Apology” has been released, one of the first videos coming out of TEDWomen 2019.
Listen to Eve’s 2019 keynote plenary at Bioneers.
“I wrote The Apology because in all the years of working in this movement, in all the recent cases of #MeToo, perhaps in in 16,000 years of patriarchy, I had never heard a man make a public, thorough, authentic apology for sexual or physical abuse towards girls, boys or women.”
Prominent feminist and author of The Vagina Monologues Eve Ensler talks to Newsclick about her new book, The Apology.
On October 18, Eve spoke at the Bioneers 30th conference in San Rafael, California. Click HERE and read a piece in Brain Pickings about Eve’s talk as well as the apology she wrote to Mother Earth.
Told with her signature brand of humor, Ensler’s journey through her uterine cancer diagnosis uncovers connections between her body and the earth, as well as the transformative and transcendent potential of illness itself.
