The Vagina Monologues gave me an unexpected outlook on life. It made me realize that I should be more comfortable with myself and embrace who I am. I get uncomfortable talking about my sex life as well as my body; I just don’t like doing it. To read this book and see all the other women who are either uncomfortable or comfortable or curious about their body is enlightening.
While reading this book many people gave me different reactions. A lot of people knew what the vagina monologues was and a lot didn’t. I, myself was uncomfortable by just hearing the title. The book is very relatable to everyone even if you are a boy. This book is about embracing yourself and your body.  I personally would never be able to be interviewed for the monologues because I would be very uncomfortable. I have a hard time embracing myself and my sexuality because it is not the social norm. Society makes me uncomfortable with myself. Society teaches people not to be ok to embrace yourself and always wants you to make yourself better and not be happy with yourself as you are.
I don’t think that this book is not only about feminism I believe that it is about embracing you for you.
