Today i'm goin to write about a women that i admire. Isadora Duncan was born in 1877 in San Francisco. She was a dancer and choreographer, and one of the creators of contemporary dance. Also she worked in the Soviet Union for the government after de social and political revolution. Also she is considerate a feminist cause of the way she lived and think and besides a revolutionary due to she starts with a new kind of dance that scape to all the rules that the conservative society thought it was right and good.

About her live we can say that it was very dramatic. She married with a Russian poet Sergei Esenin; he was 17 younger than her and also was alcoholic and very violent so they separate a few years later. Later, she has two children but Isadora never tell the truth about who was their father, so she decided to be single mother. But the two children died in 1913 drowned after a tragic accident.

Related to her work, as i say before she is one of the creators of contemporary dance, also starts a revolution in the area of arts. She gets very popular in Europe and also in Argentina where she start the revolution with 38 years old. Her dance is characterized for being close to expressionism, she tough that the essence of art comes from the inside.

Finally I like her because besides her difficult life she was a woman with conviction and influence, she always did the things she believed no matter what other people say.
