How has it happened that from being politely ignored or marginalised just half a century ago, women writers in Italy are now at the centre of literary activity?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596692635884,"sku":"9780719038914","price":60.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780719038914-italian-women-writing.jpg?v=1777936765","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/italian-women-writing-9780719038914","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
