Eve Ensler with Glenn Close and special guest James Naughton

May 13, 2019

Like millions of women, Eve Ensler—author of The Vagina Monologues—has been waiting much of her lifetime for an apology.

Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has grappled with this betrayal and its effects for her whole life. After years of work as an artist and anti-violence activist, Eve decided she would not wait any longer. She could imagine an apology for herself.

Join Eve in conversation with Glenn Close as they discuss Eve’s new book The Apology, a powerful, life-changing examination of abuse and atonement. At this cultural moment of public reckoning with violence against women, Eve’s message has the power to prompt real transformation and healing—not only in those who have been abused but also in the ones who have hurt them—a step toward change that is necessary and long overdue.
