Why I wrote an imagined apology from my father after years of sexual abuse

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues was first performed in 1996 and became a worldwide phenomenon. Her recent book The Apology is an imagined letter from her father apologising to her for a lifetime of devastating sexual, physical and emotional abuse. She tells Jenni Murray on Âé¶¹Éç Radio 4's Woman's Hour why she's written the book from the perspective of her father and why it might provide a blue-print for apologies in the #metoo era.
