About this title

Synopsis

This anthology of major post-war Italian women writers, including thirteen short stories by Cialente, Ginzburg, Ortese, Morante, Romano, Maraini and Duranti as well as Bompiani, Sanvitale, Mizzau, Scaramuzzino, Capriolo and Petrignani. These stories testify to the wealth and diversity of women, and are supported by critical notes in English and an extensive vocabulary. This is a clear and challenging introduction to the rich field of Italian fiction by women.
