Don't Get Me Started (1998)
Let's get one thing straight. I'm not. I'm out and proud. When
I'm out and it's raining I carry an umbrella. I used to be in but I hate
the smell of mothballs. My closet was huge, complete with a foyer,
turnstile, a few dead bolts, and a burglar alarm that had to be
deactivated before I could even touch the door handle. And then there
was the storm door. It wasn't until I had lived and slept with a woman
for a year that it occurred to me to ask, "Do you think we're lesbians?"
By the way, never come out to your father in a moving vehicle.
Now I've written a book. It's not as easy as it looks. One night, I was
working late on my computer when a little message came up on the screen,
"You are almost out of memory." Here are my thoughts and observations on
everything from gay marriage (Mad Vow Disease) to my morbid fear of
mascots (with the exception of the San Diego Chicken). That's all I'm
going to say because I don't want to spoil it for you. That's a job for
Jesse Helms.

This groundbreaking collection, edited by author and playwright Eve
Ensler, features pieces from “Until the Violence Stops,” the
international tour that brings the issue of violence against women and
girls to the forefront of our consciousness. These diverse voices rise
up in a collective roar to break open, expose, and examine the
insidiousness of brutality, neglect, a punch, or a put-down. Here is
Edward Albee on S&M; Maya Angelou on women’s work; Michael Cunningham on
self-mutilation; Dave Eggers on a Sudanese abduction; Carol
Gilligan on a daughter witnessing her mother being hit; Susan Miller on
raising a son as a single mother; and Sharon Olds on a bra.
These writings are inspired, funny, angry, heartfelt, tragic, and
beautiful. But above all, together they create a true and profound
portrait of this issue’s effect on every one of us. With information on
how to organize an “Until the Violence Stops” event in your community, A
Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer is a call to the world to
demand an end to violence against women.
