The article discusses feminism with reference to the theatrical production "The Vagina Monologues," by Eve Ensler. "The Vagina Monologues," may not be great literature but as a performance piece it's fantastic. A cabaret floor show by turns hilarious, brassy, lyrical, poignant, charming, romantic, tragic, vulgar, sentimental, raunchy and exhilarating experiences. The power of feminism, whether or not it goes by that name, still resides in its capacity to transform women's consciousness at the deepest possible level.
