Yet she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body--a disconnection brought on by her father's sexual abuse and her mother's remoteness. Because I did not, could not inhabit my body or the Earth, she writes, I could not feel or know their pain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Ensler is shocked out of her distance. While working in the Congo, she 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 harrowing 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnflinching, generous, and inspiring, Ensler's \u003ci\u003eIn the Body of the World\u003c\/i\u003e calls on us all to embody our connection to and responsibility for the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEve Ensler is an internationally bestselling author and an award-winning playwright whose works include \u003ci\u003eThe Vagina Monologues\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Body\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eInsecure at Last\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI Am an Emotional Creature\u003c\/i\u003e, since adapted for the stage as \u003ci\u003eEmotional Creature\u003c\/i\u003e.
