Forum di studi sul suffragismo

This forum is a collection of papers that analyses the position of women in the public sphere over the centuries. Thinking women have been confined and treated as if their thought and writings were minor respect the universal masculin knowledge. The authors point out different topics where women emerge and affirme their value: the struggle to the achievement of equal rights, after the French Revolution; the politic and social engagement of women in Italy, where Mozzoni Anna Maria has been an example; the Suffragettes movement in France and in England; the American examples of struggle against misogyny, the country where Sarah Moore Grimkè gave her contribution to the beginning of the end of female oppression.
