Una Donna by Sibilla Aleramo Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1906 e ripubblicato nel corso degli anni in molteplici edizioni, questo romanzo nasce dall'esperienza autobiografica dell'autrice ed è frutto di quei fermenti sociali che portarono alla nascita del femminismo, di cui la Aleramo stessa si sentì parte attiva. Nell'intento di rivelare, per la prima volta, "l'anima femminile moderna," con grande spirito realistico la Aleramo compone pagine di aperta denuncia e di critica sociale, affrontando argomenti come la povertà e l'ignoranza, le differenze regionali, il socialismo e naturalmente la condizione svantaggiosa da cui la donna avrebbe dovuto riscattarsi. La sua immediata fortuna in Italia e nei paesi in cui fu tradotto segnalò una nuova scrittrice, che in seguito avrebbe fornito altre prove di valore, segnatamente nella poesia We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

This book analyzes Nancy Chodorow’s canonical book The Reproduction of Mothering, bringing together an original essay from Nancy Chodorow and a host of outstanding international scholars—including Rosemary Balsam, Adrienne Harris, Elizabeth Abel, Madelon Sprengnether, Ilene Philipson, Meg Jay, Daphne de Marneffe, Alison Stone and Petra Bueskens—in a mix of memoir, festschrift, reflection, critical analysis and new directions in Chodorowian scholarship. In the 40 years since its publication, The Reproduction of Mothering has had a profound impact on scholarship across many disciplines including sociology, psychoanalysis, psychology, ethics, literary criticism and women’s and gender studies. Organized as a “reproduction of mothering scholarship”, this volume adopts a generationally differentiated structure weaving personal, political and scholarly essays. This book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities. It will bring Nancy Chodorow and her canonical work to a new generation showcasing classic and contemporary Chodorowian scholarship.
Maligned by modern media and often stereotyped, Italian Americans possess a vibrant, if largely forgotten, radical past. In Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, Marcella Bencivenni delves into the history of the sovversivi, a transnational generation of social rebels, and offers a fascinating portrait of their political struggle as well as their milieu, beliefs, and artistic creativity in the United States. As early as 1882, the sovversivi founded a socialist club in Brooklyn. Radical organizations then multiplied and spread across the country, from large urban cities to smaller industrial mining areas. By 1900, thirty official Italian sections of the Socialist Party along the East Coast and countless independent anarchist and revolutionary circles sprang up throughout the nation. Forming their own alternative press, institutions, and working class organizations, these groups created a vigorous movement and counterculture that constituted a significant part of the American Left until World War II. Italian Immigrant Radical Culture compellingly documents the wide spectrum of this oppositional culture and examines the many cultural and artistic forms it took, from newspapers to literature and poetry to theater and visual art. As the first cultural history of Italian American activism, it provides a richer understanding of the Italian immigrant experience while also deepening historical perceptions of radical politics and culture.
