Necessary Targets is a groundbreaking play about women and war--about the violence of dark memories and the enduring resilience of the human spirit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMelissa, an ambitious young writer, and J.S., a successful but unsatisfied middle-aged psychiatrist, have nothing in common beyond the methods they have been taught to distance themselves from other people. As J.S. begins to feel compassion for the women whose tragedies she has been sent to expose, she turns on Melissa, who finds safety in control. In an unexpected moment of revelation, J.S. and the women she is supposedly treating find a common ground, a place to be taught and a place to learn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNecessary Targets has been staged in New York by Meryl Streep, Anjelica Huston, and Calista Flockhart, and performed in Sarajevo with Glenn Close and Marisa Tomei.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eve Ensler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375756035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375756030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Villard Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.30w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2000 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMarie Claire\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2001 pg. 103\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/22\/2001 pg. 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2000","brand":"Eve Ensler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47039754830079,"sku":"9780375756030","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_872510a6-74b6-4e71-8230-029301c361e6.jpg?v=1752752465","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/necessary-targets-eve-ensler-9780375756030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
