If this world is going to be a better place for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it will be women who make it so. – Isabel Allende
I have more freedom when I write fiction, but my memoirs have had a much stronger impact on my readers. Somehow the message, even if I am not even aware that there is one, is conveyed better in this form. – Isabel Allende
Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country. – Isabel Allende
For real change, we need feminine energy in the management of the world. We need a critical number of women in positions of power, and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men. – Isabel Allende
