Since the early 1980s, the novel has been deemed by many Italian
women writers to be the most apt vehicle for creating positive
images of the future of women. The novel becomes the space for
confession, while at the same time allowing greater expressive
freedom. There is no longer one voice for the "feminine role" and,
by creating heroines who are also intellectuals, these authors
offer their readers models of alternative versions of self. This
study is a partial inventory of the new women's narrative and aims
to provide a broad literary framework through which both the
general reader and the student can appreciate the characteristics
and innovations of contemporary Italian women's fiction. The
writers chosen for this study (Ginerva Bompiani, Edith Bruck, Paola
Capriolo, Francesca Duranti, Rosetta Loy, Giuliana Morandini, Marta
Morazzoni, Anna Maria Ortese, Sandra Petrignanni, Fabrizia
Ramondino, Elisabetta Rasy and Francesca Sanvitale) have achieved
both critical acclaim and public recognition and their texts show
the richness of voices, topics and structures in Italian women's
writing today.
