Women of my soul

An Isabel Allende more Allende than ever.

A gift for all her readers, a lesson in life and courage.

Every year lived and every wrinkle tell my story.

Isabel Allende delves into her memory and offers us a moving book about her relationship with feminism and the fact of being a woman, while asserting that adult life must be lived, felt and enjoyed with full intensity.

In Mujeres del alma mía, the great Chilean author invites us to accompany her on this personal and emotional journey where she reviews her connection with feminism from childhood to today. She remembers some essential women in her life, such as her beloved Panchita, Paula or the agent Carmen Balcells; relevant writers such as Virginia Woolf or Margaret Atwood; young artists who bring together the rebellion of their generation or, among many others, those anonymous women who have suffered violence and who, full of dignity and courage, rise up and move forward... They are the ones who inspire her so much and who have accompanied her throughout her life: her women of the soul. Finally, she also reflects on the #MeToo movement - which she supports and celebrates -, on the recent social revolts in her country of origin and, of course, on the new situation we are globally experiencing with the pandemic. All this without losing that unmistakable passion for life and for insisting that, beyond age, there is always time for love.
