Eve Ensler brought her dynamic stage presence to TEDIndia, to fight for a new celebration and love for the girl inside us all. The audience gave her all the love she wanted, and couldn't stop sharing her words on Twitter:

Being a girl is so powerful that we've had to train everyone not to be a girl. Eve Ensler -- dina
