Isabel Allende, Courtney Martin, and Megan Tamerick are three very similar woman. They are proud of being feminists and want the world to know it. Yet they do it with such grace and humor. I thoroughly enjoyed their presentations. The information was powerful yet light and easy to listen to. My favorite though was Isabel Allende with her Tales of Passion. I always love an older woman that can tell it like it is, and she didn't miss a beat. Often times the public doesn't think woman can be funny. Which wasn't the case for Isabel. She was very good at playfulling making fun of herself and her husband as well. Her story about holding up the Olympic flag next to the beautiful Sophia was hilarious.Yet her story about the tutsie refugee camp was so meaningful. The woman of the story Rose manages to keep her seven children alive, and still gave birth to twins. Mind you this was after she watched her husband get tortured and murdered. The kind of strength and passion that must have taken. Then rose saves her oldest daughter from being raped at gun point. After this story I don't understand how woman could ever be considered weak. I felt very lucky to live where I do, and have the freedoms that most woman in other countries do not have. Isabel and Rose should be role models for all woman. Their confidence and bravery are the reason they have gotten to where they are today.
