This book explores how women's relationship with food has been
represented in Italian literature, cinema, scientific writings and
other forms of cultural expression from the 19th century to the
present. Italian women have often been portrayed cooking and
serving meals to others, while denying themselves the pleasure of
the table. The collection presents a comprehensive understanding of
the symbolic meanings associated with food and of the way these
intersect with Italian women's socio-cultural history and the
feminist movement. From case studies on Sophia Loren and Elena
Ferrante, to analyses of cookbooks by Italian chefs, each chapter
examines the unique contribution Italian culture has made to
perceiving and portraying women in a specific relation to food,
addressing issues of gender, identity and politics of the body.
