Isabel Allende: Tales of passion
In one of the most beloved talks from TED2007, novelist Isabel Allende talks about writing, women, passion, feminism. She tells the stories of powerful women she has known, some larger-than-life (listen for a beauty tip from Sophia Loren), and some simply living with grace, dignity and ingenuity in a world that, in too many ways, still treats women unjustly.
I find this talk moving and important. For me, coming from a developing country where the society is still marinated with the very idea of male superiority, Isabel’s tales of passion poignantly points out how we can solve some of the aching problems facing our world today by simply empowering women.
