Ensler Response

    One of the things that I found through out the novel was the ability of Ensler to push people out of their comfort zone. Some of the areas of discussion that she discusses are not conversations that most people have. Such as the topic of Masturbation, i know that the majority of my close friends are not comfortable talking about this in front of each other.
    For Ensler to be able to to discuss this shows the audience that she has no fear or shame. I think the experiences that Ensler has gone through in her lifetime helped her write this book. A book that every girl who reads it will learn to not be embarassed to discuss their vagina. Girls need to come out of their comfort zone a lot sooner than they are. In todays society i think that is happening more often than when i was 13. The media and other sources are truly playing a role in how girls view themselves. I think that the movies that young girls are watching are influencing their views on things. Ensler does a great job of doing this in her novel.
