Like millions of women, Eve Ensler has been waiting much of her lifetime for an apology. Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead. After years of work as an anti-violence activist, she decided she would wait no longer; an apology could be imagined, by her, for her, to her. The Apology, written by Eve from her father’s point of view in the words she longed to hear, attempts to transform the abuse she suffered with unflinching truthfulness, compassion, and an expansive vision for the future. Through The Apology, Eve has set out to provide a new way for herself and a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY possible road for others so that survivors of abuse may finally envision how to / LITERARY be free.

  • The Herring Fishery
    THE HERRING FISHERY Dutch Herring Buss and Hull Fishing Smacks off Flamborough, East Riding of Yorkshire by William Daniel Penny (1889) Hull Maritime Museum Atlantic Herring Clupea harengus Drifter hauling nets Herring packed in a barrel The Atlantic Herring, found throughout British and Irish waters, has been a commercially important fish stock for over 5000 years, and in Scotland they are affectionately known as ‘silver darlings’. Herring is a small oily fish related to mackerel and pilchards, feeding mainly on plankton, and shoaling in gigantic numbers. It is an abundant food source for many animals including gannets and gulls, cod, bass and sharks, and dolphins, seals and whales.
