3:09Now PlayingEve Ensler, the award-winning playwright and creator of "The Vagina Monologues," returns with a new book, "The Apology," in which she explores the trauma of her childhood by penning the apology she wishes her abusive father had written to her. She describes the #MeToo climate that prompted her to write the book, asking, "When have we heard a man who has been accused come forward and make a thorough, deep, authentic accounting and apology for his deeds? And not only could I not think of one example, but I went back in thousands of years of patriarchy and think, when have I ever read that happened?"
