Oriana Fallaci

Oriana Fallaci was an Italian journalist, activist, and writer. She was Italy's first female war correspondent and one of the most important reporters in the world.

Fallaci's journalistic career was characterized by his way of interviewing. His direct, rough and often uncomfortable mode caused many dislikes. She was impertinent, rude and annoying to her interlocutors, but still many wanted to be interviewed by her.

The list of personalities he interviewed is endless and varied: Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Scorsese, Frank Sinatra, Yasir Arafat, Henry Kissinger, Gold Meir o Bob Kennedy.

As the writer of twelve books, she told twenty million copies worldwide; As a journalist he gained great international prestige, especially for its quality of interviews.

I admire Oriana Fallaci for everything she achieved as a female journalist at the time. She changed journalism, since she dared to question all the powerful, demonstrating, through the weak point, that who exercises power is not better than anyone else.

It was amazing the time she interviewed Ayatollah Khomeini in Tehran, because she couldn't help but defend her feminist ideals, even in a situation as unpropitious as that.
