Tales of passion: Isabel Allende on TED.com (1/3/2008)
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. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 18:02.)

Hi Skip,
thank you so much for posting this. Inspirational--wow! I find Allende's views so wholesome, so invigorating. She is all about a "passionate heart." A great model.
I want to watch this several times. As you know, I love reading Allende's work.
