But only if you are not seeking security as the point of your life.&#8221;&#8211;Eve Ensler<br><br>When her stage play <i>The Vagina Monologues</i> 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 &#8220;protection.&#8221;<br><br>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&#8211;sharing unforgettable snapshots that chronicle a post-9/11 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. <br><br>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. 441654 3 10 2006 Insecure at Last: Losing It in Our Security-Obsessed World total:235|5:80|4:81|3:54|2:15|1:5| 235 921 408 53 3 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Thu May 10 12:25:38 -0700 2007 Thu May 10 12:32:06 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 16:23:17 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 16:26:29 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Mar 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 00:50:23 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 23:33:25 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 17:46:18 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 17:51:18 -0800 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Jul 13 18:22:42 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 18:22:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jul 09 00:29:52 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 20:34:07 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Apr 20 22:08:22 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 27 09:31:33 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 20 22:08:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 10:22:11 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 25 11:10:37 -0700 2007 book book, and it tells the story of her own activism and how she found herself...more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Jan 27 09:32:04 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 09:34:26 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 01 18:11:10 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 11 21:19:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 12:55:23 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 11:26:43 -0700 2008
