From the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea comes a passionate and inspiring meditation on what it means to be a woman. When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten I am not exaggerating begins Isabel Allende. As a child she watched her mother abandoned by her husband provide for her three small children without resources or voice. Isabel became a fierce and defiant little girl determined to fight for the life her mother couldn't have. As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s she rode the second wave of feminism. Among a tribe of like-minded female journalists Allende for the first time felt comfortable in her own skin as they wrote with a knife between our teeth about women's issues. She has seen what the movement has accomplished in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three passionate marriages she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner when to step away and the rewards of embracing one's sexuality. So what feeds the soul of feminists-and all women-today? To be safe to be valued to live in peace to have their own resources to be connected to have control over our bodies and lives and above all to be loved. On all these fronts there is much work yet to be done and this book Allende hopes will light the torches of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us as we lived for our mothers and carry on with the work still left to be finished.
