In this interview from 2008, Chilean novelist Isabel Allende talks about former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet's extraordinary story. During Bachelet's presidency (2006-2010), she made contraception available to anyone over age 14, a decision that was strongly resisted due to the influential presence of the Catholic Church in Chile. Allende then goes on to talk about her memoir and the strength she receives from her mother. She also discusses her foundation that she started for women and girls and then talks about the torture that exists in the world.

Her strength and insight is inspiring.
