Allende’s intent on using an alternate universe with elements of magic is very clear. As a feminist she uses magically gifted women in exaggeration to show that women have a natural intuition and should be proud of this. Other feminist authors such as Eve Ensler, state that women have a natural intuition very bluntly. However Allende’s method is more effective because of how natural it is in the novel, where as other others state it as otherworldly, exaggerated and silly. I believe Marquez just uses magical realism as a literary technique.
