"Italian Feminist Thought" represents a radical re-examination of institutionalized definitions of womens' nature and social role, in relation to the sexual division of labour, the structure of the family and to social welfare, the church and the media. Italian feminism is closely related to political developments from 1966 to the present, and the essays collected here have strong political overtones, revealing a particular emphasis on language as the site of a struggle over meaning, and as the prerequisite for political change. The book includes selections from the works of a wide range of individuals and groups, from Rivolta Femminile to Lesbo Femminismo and Donnawomanfemme. It should be essential reading for anyone concerned with contemporary feminist debates, whether within or outside the academy.
