SIBILLA ALERAMO. A NEW WOMAN

In the framework of a socio-historical reality which was strongly hostile to Italian women in the early twentieth century, many rebellious female voices express their dissent in works of social denunciation in which the enemy is always the patriarchal-misogynist system that discharged its violence onto women. One of these voices cries out powerfully, that of Sibilla Aleramo, whose feminist struggle was narrated in her autobiographical romance, A Woman, giving rise to an existential path towards the achievement of a new identity. A new woman was born, capable of heeding her own law, even relinquishing her own son: a human sacrifice for freedom.
