Chi è la signorina Sette? : immagini del femminile tra spettacolo, sesso e politica nell'Italia del dopoguerra

The essay examines the parable of Sette, a weekly magazine first published on April 1, 1945. The magazine, whose pages are filled with particularly daring photographs and drawings of female bodies, is an expression of the ambiguous and contradictory subterranean movement perfectly embodied by one of the creators hidden behind the magazine's pages, Leo Longanesi that invests the image of women in the immediate postwar period. Sette as well as the Signorina that stands out on its covers, are a crossroads where politics, sex, satire, cinema, news, and culture intersect, and not without contradictions. [Publisher's text].
