Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende is an amazing writer from Chile, one of her more famous novels being The House Of The Spirits. This is a speech she gave to TED, and is definitely one I, at least, refer to a lot as defining my own feminist ideals. I recommend it with the utmost enthusiasm to everyone.



I was also thinking--maybe we can have some sort of reading group? It sounds super cheesy and maybe no one will go for it, but my idea was perhaps we can gather a collection of written pieces and read them together, and discuss what they mean to us as feminists. It's kind of like a book club and it might be more appropriate for a separate meeting altogether, but it's just an idea. Works could include poetry, novels, newspaper clippings, etc. Would anyone be interested in that?
