Kurzbeschreibung
Eve Enslers Vagina Monlogues, Essays über das oft problematische Verhältnis der Frauen zu ihren Körpern. Provokante Geschichten über körperliche Obsessionen, lebenslängliche Diäten, Bulimie und Brustimplantate aus allen Teilen der Welt.
Synopsis
Eve Ensler is back and has set her sight slightly higher with an intimate contemplation of her second greatest obsession: her tortured relationship with her post-forties stomach. Ensler toured the world asking women about their bodies and gives us their wild and wonderful and deeply moving stories. She frames these stories with her own personal journey, serving up riotous excerpts from her lifelong dialogue with her stomach - a sassy and conniving antagonist in its own right. We follow her through the serial seduction of low-carb diets, ab rollers and personal trainers, to the wise words of a woman who taught her how to love her body, and see that it was good.

Excellent
9. Februar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Wow! I had never read Eve Ensler before. This book is a little gem of a look at women and how we view our bodies. The author starts off by saying "while there is a war in Iraq, I am worried about my tummy".
For women who do not have image issues (all 3 of you) this book will seem silly, but for the rest of us who are oh-so conscious of our bodies and especially their faults, this book will hit home.
A series of vignettes from various women, interwoven with Eve Ensler's comments and own views, this book is loaded with insight into how women think.
My only negative. It is way too short.

The Good Book
10. März 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Eve Ensler is brilliant. Just as I was leaving the library I happened to see her name on a bright red book and immediately picked it up. I think I had half of the book read by the time I got home. (It's not a long book, by any means)
Whether undergoing Botox or living under burkhas, women of all cultures and backgrounds feel compelled to change the way they look in order to fit in with their particular culture. In The Good Body, Ensler explores Bombay to Beverly Hills. Delivering narratives collected in locker rooms, cell blocks, boardrooms, and bedrooms, Ensler frames their stories with her own personal journey from a self-loathing teenager to a (sometimes) self-accepting adult.
Some of the monologues in The Good Body are based on well-known women like Helen Gurley Brown who, at the age of 80, still does two hundred situps a day. Those monologues, which grew out of a series of conversations with each of these fascinating women, are not recorded interviews, but interpretations of the lives they offered me. Some of the other characters are based on real lives, real stories. Many are invented.
By the end of the book I feel empowered. I feel as if I don't need to continue this way of living where I constantly feel fat. Then I remember I'm living in the real world and unfortunately, size matters.

A great read if...
5. Februar 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
...you can identify with the theme. A good read if you can't.
Like the Vagina Monologues, the author, through compelling, candid and touching "skits", urges the readers to release the phantasms of shame, guilt, obsession around their body images.
Ensler identifies distorted self-images as more than a trend or epidemic, but as a common attitude among many women, one that often leads to self-hatred and in many cases, self-mutilation.
The Good Body is a cry against the insanity of the perfect ideals to which women compare themselves, a plea to stop the rampant capitalism associated with weight and beauty, and an appeal to women to love themselves.
