Eve Ensler on Healing Through Apology
Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues, In the Body of the World, and now, The Apology (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019), discusses her new book, an imagined apology to her from her father for his sexual abuse.
"I haven’t heard one man publicly make a true, accounting, reckoning apology for his misdeeds… I haven’t really seen anyone indicate that they feel what it is felt like inside a woman to be harassed or raped or beaten or incested," says Eve Ensler, author of "The Apology."

"Even if you can’t get that apology from your perpetrator, if you write a letter from his perspective to yourself, you can move the perpetrator who lives inside of you in another direction," says Eve Ensler. "My father who was this monolithic monster, became an apologist." pic.twitter.com/1awpcy97MH
