The Vagina Monologues is the first book of 2017 to feature in Emma Watson's hugely successful feminist book club, Our Shared Shelf. I was quite excited to get my hands on this for the book club, as it has always been something I've been very intrigued to read. This paperback is fairly short, at 224 pages, and I was able to read it in a day and a half (probably because I was so engrossed).
The book is based on the controversial play which started Off-Broadway in 1996. It turned into a political giant throughout culture, with audiences both leaving the theatre feeling outraged and liberated at the same time. TVM garnered a worldwide fan base, and was the catalyst for V Day, a global activist movement celebrated each year on Valentine's Day about ending violence towards women.
