To raise awareness for Feb. 10's V-Day at Madison Square Garden, Julianna Margulies and Glenn Close performed bits of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues at a Jan. 17, 2001 press conference. 

Filmdom's Rosie Perez, Glenn Close and Julianna Margulies with playwright Eve Ensler (second from left) read some of Ensler's Vagina Monologues Jan. 17 to promote the upcoming V-Day on Feb. 10., 2001 

"V-Day" is a movement founded in 1998 to end violence against women.  In the past, Ensler has spent the day instructing students in how to present The Vagina Monologues on their campus. Afterwards, participants took in a performance of the play.
