Eve Ensler 
In the Body of the World [EPUB ebook] 
A Memoir of Cancer and Connection

Apoio

I have been exiled from my body. I was ejected at a very young age and I got lost.Playwright, author and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to the female body – how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet she spent many years disassociated from her own – a disconnection brought on by her father’s sexual abuse and her mother’s remoteness.While working in the Congo, Ensler is shattered to encounter the horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women there. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer, and through months of treatment she is forced to become first and foremost a body – pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully – and gratefully – joined to the body of the world.
