Hi Jane,

Thanks for letting us know about Eve’s new book. I am Richard’s (favorite niece. I’ll have to call and ask what he thought of Eve and her play. I took my husband and a good male friend to see Vagina Monologues several years ago so yes there are men who like Eve’s work. I’ve been hearing wonderful things about you from Richard and his mother. The more of your blogs I read, the more impressed I am with you on all levels. I wish you and Richard the best.

I listened to Eve Ensler on Free Speech Radio out of Berkeley today. She brought me to me knees with sorrow and anger about what happens to women, girls, children, in the Congo…the genocide no one talks about…and around the world. I am grateful to every woman who speaks out and to every man who speaks out…we all need to get louder. Women and children are considered collateral damage everywhere. It boggles the mind that there is still so much silence. It boggles the mind the horrors humans are willing to visit upon each other.

Hi, is this really Jane Fonda reading this? =) It probably isn’t but I have nothing to lose by writing here so…

I came across your website from a link on Huffington Post. I saw this blog entry and was very interested in the non-profit group you just wrote about, VDAY.

I work for a couple who completed their first feature, which explores the crimes against women and children in a polygamous cult. Considering how brutal the market is now, especially for independent films, we are really thrilled that it recently got picked up by a MAJOR studio. The film will open theatrically in Houston in a couple months.

We already have a major non-profit organization we are working on a fundraiser with. However, we think it would have a much more powerful presence if a celebrity of your stature could get involved, or even refer us to someone or another organization that may be interested in getting involved.

I really shouldn’t be writing like this without their consent, but just thought “what the hell, why not”. They were really brave and courageous to take on such an unbelievably tough topic and passionately pursuing it til the end to bring more awareness on the subject, and I just wanted to put in my 2 cents and try to help them even more.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best Regards,
Nancy

Jane, I had the joy of attending the reading of “I Am An Emotional Creature” at The Urban Zen Center in NYC and was, as always moved by the power and poignancy of Eve’s words.
I,too was moved to tears. Thank you as well for modeling the non-judgemental
yet staid expressions that reflect your truely Christian
Spirit in the face of unenlightened criticism. Warmly, lexi

Jane –

A friend of mine sent me this TED Talks video clip of Eve speaking about her latest work. I was blown away by her passion, intelligence and brilliance especially as it pertained to the poem she wrote and read at the end of her speech. I was deeply moved by all many girls she spoke of and how they have and continue to change lives. Here is the link if you would like to share it with others on your blog.

Jane – for all you do for the betterment of others, the two words do not seem adequate, and yet I say them with complete sincerity, Thank You!

Wishing you and yours much happiness.

Respectfully,

Gina

Bravo Jane, for your reply to Mike. You are amazingly kind, in the face of someone on the attack. Rare. I appreciate that.

Someone once said “Feminism is the radical notion that women are people.” I agree with that wholeheartedly. People cannot seem to wrap their heads around the idea that men can be feminist.

Jane, I have admired and respected you for years.
Thank you for all you do for women!

You have made so many contributions to society, you have treated the world well and I know will continue to for years to come!

And you do look well rested, maybe it was the glasses, but at first I didn’t recognize you either!
