This feels like 90s feminism.

Also it's like Georgia O'Keeffe the play and there are only so many flower vaginas you can see in your life.

This would be so boring to see live.

It is hard to rate this book since it is the experiences of women and how do you rate that? However, I did not like the format of the book, I think it made it confusing at times.

Despite some social elements of the foundation of this play being a bit outdated, this is still a really great read. I would highly recommend specifically reading the 20th Anniversary edition, as it has some wonderful additional history information as well as more inclusive language and frameworks in the additions. 
The actual monologues within the play are so so well done, heartbreaking, empowering. Sadly I feel this is still a must read, even 20 years later.
