Student Women's Association
Vagina
Monologues
The Vagina Monologues is a play by Eve Ensler that is performed internationally to raise awareness of violence against women. Every year the University of Maine's Student Women's Association under the guidance of the Women's Resource Center performs this unforgettable play concerning a woman's body, mind and spirit. You can also find a copy of this play in bookstores as well as some other work by Eve Ensler. The Vagina Monologues is just a small part of V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
