Spring 2010
Rhymes With Cubic PearBack in its heyday, I performed in a local production of Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues. I performed the monologue called “Hair,” in which a woman tells her story of being pressured by her husband to shave her pubic hair. After shaving, she feels “puffy and exposed and like a little girl.” Her husband is turned on. After she refuses to keep shaving, he is unfaithful, they attend couples’ therapy and ultimately, they divorce. 
Reflections on My Women's Collective DaysWhen we arrived at the relatively modest country house in Martha's Vineyard in the summer, the kitchen action was already in full gear. Women chopping, frying, talking, laughing—the scene brought back memories of those old potlucks of the ’70s.
