È nota per collegare l'antica saggezza alla vita contemporanea, concentrandosi in particolare sull'espressione degli archetipi femminili nelle esperienze quotidiane delle donne. Il suo lavoro offre ai lettori una lente unica attraverso cui comprendere schemi più profondi dell'esistenza umana.

Quando Anne inizia il suo diario, nel giugno 1942, ha appena compiuto tredici anni. Poche pagine, e all'immagine della scuola, dei compagni e di amori piú o meno immaginari, si sostituisce la storia della lunga clandestinità: giornate passate a pelare patate, recitare poesie, leggere, scrivere, litigare, aspettare, temere il peggio. «Vedo noi otto nell'alloggio segreto come se fossimo un pezzetto di cielo azzurro circondati da nubi nere di pioggia», ha il coraggio di scrivere Anne. Obbedendo a una sicura vocazione di scrittrice, Anne ha voluto e saputo lasciare testimonianza di sé e dell'esperienza degli altri clandestini. La prima edizione del Diario subí tuttavia non pochi tagli, ritocchi, variazioni. Ora il testo è stato restituito alla sua integrità originale, e ci consegna un'immagine nuova: quella di una ragazza vera e viva, ironica, passionale, irriverente, animata da un'allegra voglia di vivere, già adulta nelle sue riflessioni. Questa edizione, a cura di Frediano Sessi offre anche una ricostruzione degli ultimi mesi della vita di Anne e della sorella Margot, sulla base di testimonianze e documenti raccolti in questi anni.
