A comprehensive collection of texts from the most influential and
iconic figure of Italian second-wave feminism. Â Recently
rediscovered in Italy and abroad, the works of Carla Lonzi tend to
fall under the remit of art history or feminist theory. Art
historians focus on the texts written in the 1960s, when Lonzi was
still actively working as a critic, whereas feminist scholars
engage with her more openly political interventions, published
after her declared embrace of a separatist feminism. In 1970 Lonzi
decided to leave the art world for good and dedicate herself to her
newly founded feminist collective, Rivolta Femminile. While
recognizing the break in Lonzi’s life and work, this anthology
maps the overall arc of her intellectual and political production,
giving equal weight to her seminal contributions to art criticism
and her trailblazing feminist writings. A comprehensive
collection of texts from the most influential and iconic figure of
Italian second-wave feminism, Feminism in Revolt seeks to shed
light on Lonzi’s versatile approach to literary genres and
compositions by juxtaposing essayistic texts, poems, diary
excerpts, and manifestos.
