www.ted.com 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 love Isabel Allende. I started reading spanish literature after having read La Casa de los espiritus. And I can say with all certainty that I have not read a more beautiful, impressive and unforgetable novel. I highly recommend it. Isabel Allende...una de las mejores escritoras de America Latina y del mundo entero.I wish I could meet her one day.

"Women are not equal to men"?That's a dangerous game to play.Discriminating comments on an anti-discrimination video aren't gonna get you a whole heap of positive replies.

who cares about your opinion!

It's an excellent video, it motivates and everything but after it's over, an extreme feeling of "what now?"-ness kicks in. She's talking in an incredible manner about nothing at all, which is actually ingenious.Women are not equal to men, as a liter of hydrogen is not equal to a hammer. We have different roles to play and paths to take. "Just do the thing you're good at and stop bitching" would have actually made more sense to me than this whole video.Still I respect the poetry she creates

I don't see how you can perceive her marvellous speech like that...I really don't. She opens up for males to participate in a strife for an equal society..in terms of condition. I think this is an excellent video.

If this is a feminist, I'll marry one. <3

amazing.

that would be a little hard to accomplish, but hey! it's our world, we're responsible for it.Nevertheless changes are beginning to happen, especially, as always, within the young generation. No time to criticize the mistakes of the past now. We've got to view the world in a positive way and act accordingly.
