_______________ 'An autobiographical meditation on feminism power and womanhood . Full of Isabel's wisdom and warm words' - Grazia 'In her small potent polemic . . . Isabel Allende writes about the toxic effects of "machismo" combining wit with anger as she picks apart the patriarchy' - Independent 'Allende has everything it takes: the ear the eye the mind the heart the all-encompassing humanity' - New York Times An Independent Guardian and Grazia Highlight for 2021 _______________ The wise warm defiant new book from literary legend Isabel Allende - a meditation on power feminism and what it means to be a woman When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten I am not exaggerating. As a child Isabel Allende watched her mother abandoned by her husband provide for her three small children. As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s she rode the first wave of feminism. She has seen what has been accomplished by the movement in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three 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 do women want? To be safe to be valued to live in peace to have their own resources to be connected to have control over their bodies and lives and above all to be loved. On all these fronts there is much work to be done and this book Allende hopes will 'light the torch 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.' _______________ 'Her thoughts language and ideas traverse fluidly through ideas of gender historic injustices her marriages and bodily experiences and literary references . . . Allende's love for women is palpable' - Sydney Morning Herald
