This book is the first critical interdisciplinary examination in
English of Italian women’s contributions to intellectual,
artistic, and cultural production in modern Italy. Examining
commonalities and diversities from the country’s Unification to
today, the volume provides insight into the challenges that Italian
women engaged in cultural production have faced, and the strategies
they have deployed in order to achieve their objectives. The essays
address a range of issues, from women’s self-identification and
public ownership of their professional roles as laborers in the
intellectual and cultural realm, to questions about motherhood and
financial remuneration, to the role of creative foreign women in
Italy. Through critical analysis and direct testimony from new and
typically marginalized voices, including an Arab-Italian writer, an
Italian-Dominican filmmaker, and a transgender activist, new forms
of ongoing struggle emerge that redefine the culturally diverse
landscape of female intellectual and creative production in Italy
today. The volume rethinks a solely national “Made in Italy”
reading of the subject of female intellectual labor, demonstrating
instead the wide network of influences and relationships that have
existed for Italian women in their professional aspirations.
