It has been almost eight years since the first production of Eve Ensler's shockingly clever play, "The Vagina Monologues," and since people in that theatre off-off Broadway first heard the writer and actor herself, say the word, vagina, and give voice to its emotions.

If the word itself has lost some of its shock value over seven years and after tens of thousands of productions of The Vagina Monologues, the stories associated with the vagina, like the experience of women in war, have lost none of their power.

Eve Ensler talks about the amazing odyssey that her play has started. Celebrations of V-Day, money raised to help and help prevent violence against women. This hour we're talking with Eve Ensler about being both an artist and an activist.
