In the Body of the World
Eve Ensler • 2013
Devastation Rating
terminal illness memoir cancer activism
Our Take
Ensler was diagnosed with uterine cancer and connected her body's invasion to the violence she had spent decades documenting in other women's bodies. The memoir is visceral — chemo, surgery, Congo — and the parallel between personal and political devastation is not metaphor.
