As noted in this paper, the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding is planning to take its place ? psychologically ? among Princeton's Prospect Avenue eating clubs, in the former Elm Club.

Why are vaginas talking?

What, you may ask, are "The Vagina Monologues"? They seem to turn up on this campus every February like clockwork, but if you haven't seen the show, the sudden proliferation of this often shushed word may be quite perplexing."The Vagina Monologues" was written based on hundreds of interviews compiled by Eve Ensler and is now is now performed annually by women around the world as a part of the global V-Day campaign to end violence against women and girls (V for Valentine or Vagina ... ). Violence in this context means a lot of different things: rape, rape as a war crime, assault/battery, sexual harassment, stalking, female genital mutilation, female infanticide, honor killing, acid attacks, dowry deaths and bride burnings, incest and sexual slavery.
