In one of the most beloved talks from TED2007, novelist Isabel Allende talks about writing, women, passion, feminism. She tells the stories of powerful women she has known, some larger-than-life (listen for a beauty tip from Sophia Loren), and some simply living with grace, dignity and ingenuity in a world that, in too many ways, still treats women unjustly.

Thank you for posting this talk. Isabel Allende is a beautiful person and I only wish that more would speak (and act) as passionately and eloquently in defense of women and the powerless.
