The Soul of a Woman

The wise, warm, defiant, hardback edition 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".

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.'
