Futurist Women broadens current debates on Futurism and literary
studies by demonstrating the expanding global impact of women
Futurist artists and writers in the period succeeding the First
World War. This study initially focuses on the local: the making of
the self in the work by the women who were affiliated with the
journal L'Italia futurista during World War I in Florence. But then
it broadens its field of inquiry to the global. It compares the
achievements of these women with those of key precursors and
followers. It also conceives these women's work as an ongoing
dialogue with contemporary political and scientific trends in
Europe and North America, especially first wave feminism, eugenics,
naturism and esotericism. Finally, it examines the vital importance
and repercussions of these women's ideas in current debates on
gender and the posthuman condition. This ground-breaking study will
prove invaluable for all scholars and upper-level students of
modern European literature, Futurism, and gender studies.
