The Muskegon Writers series is made possible by the generous grant from the George and Betty Hilt Advised Fund of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County.

Eve Ensler, Tony Award-winning playwright, performer, and activist, is the author of The Vagina Monologues, which has been translated into over 48 languages, performed in over 140 countries, including sold-out runs at both Off-Broadway’s Westside Theater and on London’s West End (2002 Olivier Award nomination, Best Entertainment), and has run for 10 years in Mexico City and Paris. Her experience performing The Vagina Monologues inspired her to launch V-Day, a global grassroots activist movement to stop violence against women and girls which raises funds and awareness through benefit productions of her award-winning play The Vagina Monologues and other artistic works. To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $100 million and educated millions. Eve Ensler has devoted her life to stopping violence, envisioning a planet in which women and girls will be free to thrive, rather than merely survive. On V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, it launched its most ambitious campaign, ONE BILLION RISING, which inspired millions of people in 207 countries to Strike, Dance, and Rise to end violence against women and girls on Feb 14, 2013, and continues to date as a global mass action campaign. With the women of Congo, V-Day opened and supports City of Joy in Bukavu, Congo, a revolutionary center where survivors of gender violence Turn Their Pain to Power, and V-World Farm.
