As a child, she watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children without \"resources or voice.\" Isabel became a fierce and defiant little girl, determined to fight for the life her mother couldn't have. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s, she rode the second wave of feminism. Among a tribe of like-minded female journalists, Allende for the first time felt comfortable in her own skin, as they wrote \"with a knife between our teeth\" about women's issues. She has seen what the movement has accomplished in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three passionate marriages, she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner, when to step away, and the rewards of embracing one's sexuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo what feeds the soul of feminists--and all women--today? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over our bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work yet to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will \"light the torches of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabel Allende\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593355628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593355626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballantine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2020 pg. 51\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2020 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2021 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2021","brand":"Isabel Allende","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053443969279,"sku":"9780593355626","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8e193bc7-3f61-417e-8b5e-3d45f964d545.jpg?v=1685024372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-soul-of-a-woman-isabel-allende-9780593355626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
