The characters, who range from an attorney-turned-sex therapist to an old lady from Queens, speak on the subject in alternating funny, poetic and provocative voices.<\/p>\n<p>Ensler developed the idea for &ldquo;The Vagina Monologues&rdquo; after she realized that her work, mostly about women, was missing a physiological connection.<\/p>\n<p>The play won an Obie Award in 1997 and has toured numerous countries since it was originally produced in the United States. It became a best-selling book a year later.<\/p>\n<p>A complete listing of events surrounding Women&rsquo;s History Month is available by visiting the Bemidji State University events calendar on the Web at http:\/\/<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bemidjistate.edu\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.bemidjistate.edu\/calendar<\/a>.
