Eve Ensler's raw, honest exploration of women's relationships with their bodies. From Botox to bulimia, she lays bare the relentless pursuit of an elusive "good body" - and the liberating power of self-acceptance. Weaving together candid monologues, Ensler takes us on a global journey from self-loathing to enlightenment, as women from LA to Kabul challenge society's demands and find the courage to love their imperfect, beautiful selves.
