Bioneers | Published: November 1, 2017 ArtJusticeNature, Culture and SpiritWomen's Leadership Video

As the creation story of Judeo-Christian beliefs, the biblical recounting of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden has long had profound influence around the world. So what’s it like to be named Eve? World-renowned playwright and activist Eve Ensler explores her own personal journey into her name sake. The provocative author of “The Vagina Monologues” and founder of V-Day to end violence against women suggests there’s another story beneath the traditional story. For her, it’s both very personal – and very political.

Listen to a podcast from our archives based on Eve Ensler’s talk at Bioneers in 2014.
