Una Donna by Sibilla Aleramo Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1906 e ripubblicato nel corso degli anni in molteplici edizioni, questo romanzo nasce dall'esperienza autobiografica dell'autrice ed è frutto di quei fermenti sociali che portarono alla nascita del femminismo, di cui la Aleramo stessa si sentì parte attiva. Nell'intento di rivelare, per la prima volta, "l'anima femminile moderna," con grande spirito realistico la Aleramo compone pagine di aperta denuncia e di critica sociale, affrontando argomenti come la povertà e l'ignoranza, le differenze regionali, il socialismo e naturalmente la condizione svantaggiosa da cui la donna avrebbe dovuto riscattarsi. La sua immediata fortuna in Italia e nei paesi in cui fu tradotto segnalò una nuova scrittrice, che in seguito avrebbe fornito altre prove di valore, segnatamente nella poesia We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

The contributors emphasize the wider contexts- political, social, economic- in which the texts were produced. They cover feminist literature in Britain, Scandinavia, Germany, Eastern Europe, Russia, France, Spain, Italy, and Turkey, and consider a range of genres, including the novel, poetry, drama, essays, and journalism. Each chapter contains an extensive bibliography with special emphasis on material available in English. A stimulating introduction to the development of European feminist writing, Textual Liberation will be an invaluable resource for students of women’s literature, women’s studies, and feminism.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... XIX PROBLEMS T"1 HREE days after my husband had gone -*- I met my "prophet" friend on the street; the boy was with me. I saw him coming towards us, through the crowd, buried in thought, a little bent; and then, suddenly, on seeing us, his whole appearance was transformed by a radiant smile. Was the sight of us, then, so joyous an apparition? He took my son by the hand and began to question him in that tender, serious manner which makes children's hearts leap with happiness, and which so few people know how to employ. Again the scene of a few evenings before rose up in my mind and a wave of indignation kept me silent. He had to interrogate me at last, and I could do nothing but allude to a latent jealousy in my husband's disposition and tell him that thenceforward I would not be able to receive him at my own house. He had guessed the truth, but on hearing it spoken, in so many words, he could not restrain a movement of scorn. Then I told him that I had given up the idea of being independent, that, in order not to be deprived of my son, I had determined to resume the false and contemptible life I had been leading. He turned and bent upon me an inscrutable, half-fraternal look, and did not utter a single word. Without actually admitting as much to myself, I had a slight sensation of disappointment; it seemed to me that a gesture of pity, contempt, possibly, or even a reproof would have consoled me more. That evening, after supper, while the boy was playing on the floor by the stove, I had a violent nervous attack. I was sitting at my desk when I suddenly found myself holding my head with both hands, shaking with sobs, my face wet with tears. The child stood for a moment transfixed; certainly he never remembered to have seen me thus weeping...

Maligned by modern media and often stereotyped, Italian Americans possess a vibrant, if largely forgotten, radical past. In Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, Marcella Bencivenni delves into the history of the sovversivi, a transnational generation of social rebels, and offers a fascinating portrait of their political struggle as well as their milieu, beliefs, and artistic creativity in the United States. As early as 1882, the sovversivi founded a socialist club in Brooklyn. Radical organizations then multiplied and spread across the country, from large urban cities to smaller industrial mining areas. By 1900, thirty official Italian sections of the Socialist Party along the East Coast and countless independent anarchist and revolutionary circles sprang up throughout the nation. Forming their own alternative press, institutions, and working class organizations, these groups created a vigorous movement and counterculture that constituted a significant part of the American Left until World War II. Italian Immigrant Radical Culture compellingly documents the wide spectrum of this oppositional culture and examines the many cultural and artistic forms it took, from newspapers to literature and poetry to theater and visual art. As the first cultural history of Italian American activism, it provides a richer understanding of the Italian immigrant experience while also deepening historical perceptions of radical politics and culture.
