“Why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more
來源：香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk insecure? Nothing is secure. And this is the good news. But only if
you are not seeking security as the point of your life.”–Eve
Ensler
When her stage play The Vagina Monologues became a runaway hit
and an international sensation, Eve Ensler emerged as a powerful
voice and champion for women everywhere. Now the brilliant
playwright gives us her first major work written exclusively for
the printed page. Insecure at Last is a timely and urgent look at
our security-obsessed world, the drastic measures taken to keep us
safe, and how we can truly experience freedom by letting go of the
deceptive notion of vigilant “protection.”
Ensler draws on personal experiences and candid interviews with
burka-clad women in Afghanistan; female prisoners in upstate New
York; survivors at the Superdome after Katrina; and anti-war
activist Cindy Sheehan–sharing unforgettable snapshots that
chronicle a post-911 existence in which hyped obsession for safety
and security has undermined our humanity. The us-versus-them
mentality, Ensler explains, has closed our minds and hardened our
compassionate hearts.
Provocative, illuminating, inspiring, and boldly envisioned,
Insecure at Last challenges us to reconsider what it means to be
free, to discover that our strength is not born out of that which
protects us. Ensler offers us the opportunity to reevaluate our
everyday lives, expose our vulnerability, and, in doing so,
experience true freedom and fulfillment.
