This groundbreaking collection, edited by author and playwright Eve Ensler, features pieces from â€œUntil the Violence Stops,â€ the international tour that brings the issue of violence against women and girls to the forefront of our consciousness. These diverse voices rise up in a collective roar to break open, expose, and examine the insidiousness of brutality, neglect, a punch, or a put-down. Here is Edward Albee on S&M; Maya Angelou on womenâ€™s work; Michael Cunningham on self-mutilation; Dave Eggers on a Sudanese
abduction; Carol Gilligan on a daughter witnessing her mother being hit; Susan Miller on raising a son as a single mother; and Sharon Olds on a bra.

These writings are inspired, funny, angry, heartfelt, tragic, and beautiful. But above all, together they create a true and profound portrait of this issueâ€™s effect on every one of us. With information on how to organize an â€œUntil the Violence Stopsâ€ event in your community, A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer is a call to the world to demand an end to violence against women.

â€œIn the current era, it takes some brain racking to think of anyone else doing anything quite like Ensler. Sheâ€™s a countercultural consciousness-raiser, an empowering figure, a truth-teller.â€
