Behind the Bedroom Door by Paula Derrow features
writing by Abiola Abrams along with popular women's writers Susan Cheever, Susan
Shapiro, Susanna Sonnenberg, Suzanne Paola, Valerie Frankel, Abby Sher, Elizabeth Cohen, Hope Edelman, Jane Juska, Ali Liebegott, Anna Marrian, Bella Pollen, Betsy
Stephens, Brett Paesel, Cheryl Strayed, Deanna Kizis, Jenny Lee, Julie Powell, Lauren Slater, Lori Gottlieb, M. P. Dunleavey,
Martha Southgate, Meredith Maran, Pari Chang and Stephanie Dolgoff. We may not admit it, but we’re all curious about
what goes on in other people’s bedrooms.
A Memory, A Monologue
, A Rant and A Prayer features Abiola Abrams' writing along with writers Eve Ensler, Edward Albee, Tariq Ali, Maya
Angelou, Howard Zinn, Erin Cressida Wilson, Michael Eric Dyson, Elizabeth Lesser, Anna Deavere Smith, David Eggers, Jane
Fonda, Alice Walker, and many more. Author,
playwright and performer Ensler hosts a collection of new, personal and often powerful essays by celebrities (Kathy Najimy,
Jane Fonda), literati (Dave Eggers, Edwidge Danticat) and feminist luminaries (Carol Gilligan, Alice Walker, Maya Angelou).
Ensler made her taboo-breaking reputation with her stage production The Vagina Monologues; here, she continues in that spirit,
calling violence against women "an issue that lives smack in the middle of the world and is still not spoken, not seen,
not given weight or significance." Ensler looks to figures such as Maya Angelou, Edward Albee and Anna Deavere Smith
to jolt readers out of passivity and into the thick of the issue. |
Written by Abiola Abrams I write mostly about love and empowerment.
