Viti Cristina - Feminism In Revolt An Anthology - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A comprehensive collection of texts from the most influential and iconic figure of Italian second - wave feminism. 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.
