The first of the three Vagina Monologues kicks off Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union.

The Vagina Monologues are a series of monologues performed by different women on topics such as sex, love, rape, menstruation, masturbation, birth and female orgasm to encourage women empowerment.

The Margaret Sloss Women’s Center hosts the event every year as a fundraiser for ACCESS — Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support — to combat the issues of sexual assault and domestic violence in Story County.

Last year’s Vagina Monologues raised $3,685 for ACCESS.

The event costs $10 for students with university ID and $12 for non-students.

The other two performances will be Friday, Feb. 13 at 6 and 9 p.m. in the Campanile Room.

Items will be available for sale:

Chocolate vulvas – $5 for a large and $2 for small

“I <3 respect vaginas” t-shirts – $12

Mirrors – $2

Buttons – $1
