“And what is my definition of feminism? It is not what we have between our legs but what we have between our ears. It’s a philosophical posture and an uprising against male authority. It’s a way of understanding human relations and a way to see the world. It’s a commitment to justice and a struggle for the emancipation of women, the LGBTQIA+ community, anyone oppressed by the system, including some men, and all others who want to join. Welcome! The greater our number the better.”
― Isabel Allende, The Soul of a Woman

“If for any reason you don't like the word feminist, look for another word. The name is not important as long as the work gets done for yourself and for your sisters in the rest of the world who need it.”
― Isabel Allende, The Soul of a Woman

“Docility, praised as a feminine virtue, is our worst enemy; it has never served us well, it is only convenient for men.”
― Isabel Allende, The Soul of a Woman

“It's hard not to fall in love with someone who looks at you one day and says, "Thank you for letting me be myself.”
