Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The Women’s Movement is often perceived as a uniform global phenomenon, yet it manifests differently across regions. Susan Bassnett, drawing from her experiences in the U.S., Italy, the U.K., and her interactions with feminists in the German Democratic Republic, reveals the diverse aims, tactics, and priorities of feminist movements in these distinct cultures. In Italy, she highlights the movement's intellectual vigor and the violence it sometimes embodies. The American women’s movement is explored through its historical roots and pragmatic approaches. In the GDR, Bassnett examines the complex interplay between state socialism and feminism, presenting unique challenges. In the U.K., she emphasizes the critical role of class in shaping feminist discourse. Throughout her work, Bassnett is committed to enhancing our understanding of the varied objectives within women’s movements while also identifying their shared struggles, which she describes as the “no-man’s land” of female existence. Her narrative is enriched by personal anecdotes from her life experiences, making her insights accessible to a broad audience of feminists.
