This wonderful video is an 18-minute talk by novelist Isabel Allende, in which — with humor, poignancy, and power — she tells stories of passion — women with passion — and how feminine energy can change the world.
The talk was part of “TED,” Technology, Entertainment, Design, which “started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).”
