In nineteenth-century Italy, a woman's place was considered to be
in the domestic sphere, devoted to family life. But during the
Risorgimento and the years following Unification, economic,
political and social changes enabled women progressively to engage
in pursuits that had previously been the exclusive domain of men.
This book traces some of the steps of this shift in cultural
perception. Covering the period from the Unification of Italy in
1861 to the First World War, the volume brings together new
perspectives on women, culture and gender in ten original
interdisciplinary chapters that explore a variety of subjects,
including motherhood and spinsterhood, women's relationship with
the Italian language, emigration and brigantaggio, patriotism and
travel writing, acting and theatre management, film-making, and
political ideas and female solidarity.
