A review by amandalorianxo
The Soul of a Woman by Isabel Allende

emotional informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

This is a small book physically speaking but in terms of content, it spans a wide array of topics. It's less memoir and more a feminist monologue.  Isabel Allende turned eighty years old in August but still has so much coherent passion for certain controversial topics that have arisen throughout her existence. She mentions a multitude of topics such as the fluidity of gender, pronouns, reproductive rights, political uprisings, and discussions of women's rights. It's refreshing to read about someone from South America (Chile specifically) who is progressive in terms of their beliefs instead of the typical right-wing, religious figures we hear about on the news or in my case within my own relatives. I am eager to read her fictional work now more than ever.
