Fireside Learning:  Conversations about Education

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.
