The Lonely Mirror : Italian Perspectives on Feminist Theory

Omtale

Contributing to a lively dialogue with Anglo-American and French theorists, The Lonely Mirror (originally published in 1993) sets out to contextualize Italian feminist theory within the international debate. The essays vividly illuminate the specific character of Italian feminism as a political and intellectual movement and expose the differences between the more institutionalized nature of womens studies in the United States and Britain. It will be of vital interest both to general and academic readers who want to explore some of the most vibrant developments in European feminism.
