Isabel Allende: The Soul of a Woman

Litquake’s diverse live programs are created with the aim of inspiring critical engagement with the key issues of the day, bringing people together around the common humanity encapsulated in literature, and perpetuating a sense of literary community, as well as a vibrant forum for Bay Area writing. We believe in literature as a public good, so we work to produce events that are accessible to all.Learn more atlitquake.org

Litquake, San Francisco's Literary Festival

Litquake's 2021 Festival runs from 10/7-10/23. Full schedule at litquake.org!

Co-presented by Cheltenham Festival of LiteratureAs a child, Isabel Allende 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. “When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten,” she recalls, “I am not exaggerating.” As 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. Join bestselling author Isabel Allende, in conversation with Ingrid Rojas Contreras, as they discuss Isabel’s incredible life and career, and her newest release, The Soul of a Woman. FREE, $5-10 suggested donation (pre-registration required)This is a pre-recorded event held on Zoom Webinar. There will be no author Q&A.
