Mujeres del alma mía

Isabel Allende delves into her memory and offers us an exciting book about her relationship with feminism and the fact of being a woman, while claiming 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 until today. She remembers some essential women in her life, such as her long-awaited Panchita, Paula or the agent Carmen Balcells; relevant writers such as Virginia Woolf or Margaret Atwood; to young artists who agglutinate the rebellion of their generation or, among many others, to those anonymous women who have suffered violence and who, full of dignity and courage, stand up and advance... They are the ones who inspire him so much and have so much accompanied throughout his life: his women of the soul. Finally, she also reflects on the #MeToo movement -which she supports and celebrates-, on the recent social unrest in her country of origin and, of course, on the new situation that we are experiencing globally with the pandemic. All this without losing that unmistakable passion for life and insisting that, regardless of age, there is always time for love.
