About Eve Ensler

Eve Ensler Biography

Eve Ensler, Tony Award winning playwright, performer, and activist, is the author of The Vagina Monologues, which has been translated into over 48 languages, performed in over 140 countries, including sold-out runs at both Off-Broadways Westside Theater and on Londons West End (2002 Olivier Award nomination, Best Entertainment), and has run for 10 years in Mexico City and Paris.

In 2004, Ensler performed her play The Good Body on Broadway in New York City. This was followed by a 20-city national tour in 2005.

In 2006, Ensler released Insecure at Last, a political memoir. In 2006 she also co-edited A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer, an anthology of writings about violence against women.

In February 2010, I Am an Emotional Creature: The Secret Life of Girls Around the World was released by Random House and made The New York Times Best Seller list.

In August 2010 Emotional Creature was first workshopped at New York Stage and Film at Vassar College. The show was recently workshopped in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by Paris, France, and will open at Berkeley Rep in June 2012, moving towards an off-Broadway production.

In the summer of 2010, Enslers play Here was filmed live by Sky Television in London, UK. Eves other plays include Mango, The Treatment, Necessary Targets, Conviction, Ladies, Lemonade, The Depot, Floating Rhoda and the Glue Man, Extraordinary Measures and Reef and Particle.

The Vagina Monologues, The Good Body, Necessary Targets, Insecure at Last and A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer was published by Villard/Random House. Vagina Warriors, words by Ensler and photos by Joyce Tenneson, was published by Bulfinch Press for V-Day 2005.

She is currently writing a new book, In the Body of the World, for Metropolitan to be published 2013.

Enslers film credits include an HBO film version of The Vagina Monologues (2002). She also produced the film What I Want My Words to Do to You, a documentary about the writing group she led at the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women. The film premiered and won the Freedom of Expression Award at Sundance Film Festival and premiered nationally on PBSs P.O.V. in December 2003.

Ensler has written numerous articles for The Guardian, Huffington Post, Washington Post, Utne Reader, International Herald Tribune, Glamour Magazine and Marie Claire as well as a regular column in O Magazine.

She was awarded the 2011 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award, which recognizes an individual from the theater community who has made a substantial contribution of volunteered time and effort on behalf of humanitarian, social service, or charitable organizations. Other awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship in Playwriting and an Obie, in addition to a number of honorary degrees.

In November 2009, Ensler was named one of US News & World Reports Best Leaders in association with the Center for Public Leadership (CPL) at Harvard Kennedy School. In 2010 she was named one of 125 Women Who Changed Our World by Good Housekeeping Magazine. In 2011 she was named one of Newsweeks 150 Women Who Changed the World and The Guardians 100 Most Influential Women.

Enslers experience performing The Vagina Monologues inspired her to create V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. She has devoted her life to stopping violence, envisioning a planet in which women and girls will be free to thrive, rather than merely survive.

Today, V-Day is a global activist movement that raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of Enslers award-winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works. In 2011, over 5,600 V-Day benefits took place. To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $85 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational, media and PSA campaigns, opened the revolutionary City of Joy community in the Democratic Republic of Congo, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 13,000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt, and Iraq. In 2001 V-Day was named one of Worth Magazines 100 Best Charities, in 2006 one of Marie Claire Magazines Top Ten Charities, and in 2010 one of the top-rated organizations on GreatNonprofits.

V-Day stages large-scale benefits and produces innovative gatherings, films, and campaigns to educate and change social attitudes towards violence against women, including the documentary Until The Violence Stops. It also holds community briefings on the missing and murdered women of Juarez, Mexico. In addition, V-Day staged the December 2003 V-Day delegation trip to Israel, Palestine, Egypt and Jordan; the Afghan Womens Summit; the March 2004 delegation to India; the Stop Rape Contest; the Indian Country Project; Love Your Tree; the June 2006 two-week festival of theater, spoken word, performance, and community events Until the Violence Stops: NYC; the 2008 V-Day 10-year anniversary events V to the Tenth at the New Orleans Arena and Louisiana Superdome; the Stop Raping Our Greatest Resource: Power To The Women and Girls of the Democratic Republic of Congo Campaign; the V-Girls Campaign, and the V-Men Campaign, which launched in 2010.
