She's a beautiful woman.

She's a beautiful woman.

An old lady sang to me.

So when she got older she created this incredible thing it's an anatomical sculpture of a woman's body it's half a woman's body.

And I started this piece, particularly with stories and narratives, and I was talking to one woman and that led to another woman and that led to another woman, and then I wrote those stories down and I put them out in front of other people.

But it really didn't begin there it began with a conversation with a woman.

This is the first stunt woman, Rosie Venger, an amazing woman.

A woman told me there, her mother used to tell her, Don't wear panties, dear, underneath your pajamas.

There's another woman named Agnes. And Agnes, for me, epitomizes what a vagina warrior is.

And from there things pretty much went downhill when another Muslim woman set fire to a hijab on International Women s Day.

And I said, Well I've been a woman for 60 years, but I've only been Secretary of State for a few minutes.

I want to talk about three particular people that I've met, vagina warriors, who really transformed my understanding of this whole principle and species, and one is a woman named Marsha Lopez.

The second one was about a woman complaining because three minivans with six bearded men pulled up and started interrogating her on the spot for talking to a man who wasn't related to her.

There's a woman named Esther Chavez who I met in Juarez, Mexico. And Esther Chavez was a brilliant accountant in Mexico City she was 72 years old and she was planning to retire.

Well, here population growth comes in because there among emerging economies we already have two to three children per woman, family planning is widely used, and population growth is coming to an end.

And that woman said something more amazing, and then the next woman said something more amazing, and before I knew it, every woman was telling me I had to talk to somebody about their vagina because they had an amazing story, and I was sucked down the vagina trail.

I talked with over 200 women. I talked to older women, younger women, married women, lesbians, single women I talked to corporate professionals, college professors, actors, sex workers I talked to African American women, Asian American women, Native American women, Caucasian women, Jewish women.

One woman took that energy and she said, I want to bring this wave, this energy, to college campuses, and so she took the play and she said, Let's use the play and have performances of the play once a year, where we can raise money to stop violence against women in local communities all around the world.

A vagina warrior is a woman, or a vagina friendly man, who has witnessed incredible violence or suffered it, and rather than getting an AK 47 or a weapon of mass destruction or a machete, they hold the violence in their bodies they grieve it they experience it and then they go out and devote their lives to making sure it doesn't happen to anybody else.
