Violence Against Women.
In the body of the world by Eve Ensler [Assigned Reading: [pps: 1-60; 74-84 and 181-217] “Eve Ensler incarnates the pain of the women in the Congo, victims of rape and torture; and of the Earth, victim of so much desecration. Her heart and body are broken, her anger is like fire, and the passion of her writing rattles your soul. This is true literature and true activism.” —Isabel Allende PROMPT: Begin your response with a paragraph describing your own review of this book [pages assigned or whole book if read] – please be specific with your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and emotional reactions.
