In this conversation, the two discussed Allende’s new memoir, “The Soul of a Woman.”
Isabel Allende is the international bestselling author of 25 books, including “The House of Spirits”, “Eva Luna”, and “Paula,” a memoir about her daughter’s untimely death.
Having lived as a refugee after fleeing Chile during the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, Allende became a champion of human rights around the world, with a focus on the treatment of women.
Now in her late seventies, Allende draws on these experiences in “The Soul of a Woman,” in which she reflects on feminism in our society, and in her personal life.
