Eve Ensler’s interpretation of social justice is different than all the others in that it focuses on a new topic for social justice, and that is feminism. Not even feminism like being a woman, but being a girl. She encourages people to embrace their inner emotional self, while the world has rejected it. She talks about how girls in third world countries are running away and trying to save themselves from female circumcision, and how houses are placed around these countries that house them, and encourage them to pursue education and freedom. Her speech shares a sense of equity with all of the other speakers. She talks about giving women the same rights as men in those countries (education, rights) and that can relate to every speaker on social justice. The stories that Eve uses truly depict girls at their finest, and her monologue of a girl that she retold at the end was very moving. Every other speaker talked about social inequalitites and battling them, and she did the same.

I completely forgot about the monologue at the end “I love, love, love being a girl.” I loved that part
she does talk alot about the 3rd world countries, like in some countries how girl are sold for cows, which can only make the audience believe that the treat animals better than they do their own women, in which i find just horribly wrong
I like that you said that her speech shares a sense of equality with every single one of her listeners, because that is what she truly does. She shows how every single person has an inner girl, that is more commonly than not , that is suppressed from expression.
While reading your post I immediately thought of the story she told of the girl being traded for cows, how she had no rights in comparison to her father. Then after she ran away and came back he had so much respect for her. It was sort of like his inner girl cell came out of him too. I too agree that the monologue was very moving! Kind of made me want to embrace my inner girl cell!
