How has it happened that from being politely ignored or
marginalized just half a century ago, women writers in Italy are
now at the centre of literary activity? To what extent does writing
by women reflect the successes and failures of Italy in the
post-war period? What form did the feminist movement in Italy take,
and how did this affect what - and how - women wrote? And how are
women who write responding to a more fragmented post-modern age?
These are just some of the questions asked of the relationship
between women and fiction in post-war Italy in this anthology. It
includes stories by Cialente, Ginzburg, Ortese, Morante, Romano,
Maraini and Duranti as well as Bompiani, Sanvitale, Mizzau,
Scaramuzzino, Capriolo and Petrignani. The thirteen stories
presented offer a range of style and content indicative of the
wealth and diversity of writing by women, and their reading is
supported by critical notes and an extensive vocabulary. This is a
clear and challenging introduction to the rich field of women and
fiction in Italy. -- .
