From the author of The Vagina Monologues comes a book about the rest of us.

We thought we knew what went on down there until Eve Ensler exploded our horizons with The Vagina Monologues. Now she is back, with an even more intimate journey into body and soul.

Why do we all loathe some part of our body and desperately want to change it? Why are we so obsessed with losing weight? And why, Eve asks herself, can't she stop thinking about her evil stomach? Hilariously funny and deeply moving, The Good Body is Eve's story of her quest to purge herself of this all-consuming obsession, and of the wild and wonderful women she met along the way. We follow her through the serial seductions of low carb diets, ab rollers and sadistic trainers to the wise words of a woman who taught her how to love her body, and see that it was good.

"Passionate, funny, frank, revealing, even shocking and genuinely committed to improving life on this planet." San Francisco Chronicle.
