Today’s another share Ted talks day because there are some great conversations to start!
Power doesn’t have to come in large packages. Isabel Allende proves it in this fascinating talk about feminism not as a call to arms, but as a call to build. To build a better world through a woman’s empathy, creativity, and nurturing. Isabel truly has a gift of words, and puts her listeners right into her story so that they feel what the person in the story feels. She uses her cutting wit that manages to put her above those women like Sophia Lauren who are known the world over.
Her daughter claims that feminism is passé, but Isabel has been through those trials and tribulations that allow young girls like her daughter to feel this way. I have to say that I really admire Isabel for her strength of character. She doesn’t have to be militant to get her point across, because she does it with stellar conversation that lifts the veil off of the truth. Women who want to make this world better through their own power are needed in order to help rebuild this world into a better place. People keep asking what kind of change does the world need? And women like Isabel answer simply to let women stand alongside men in order to build a world with less violence, more equality, and more opportunity to visualize just how beautiful we can make this world. It sounds like a great plan to me!
