"Guzzetta and Parati have served up a feast of Italian feminist writing, some of it translated here for the first time. Covering the gamut from care, law, and labor to migration, ecology, and economy to theater, film, and literature, these essays sparkle with embodied intelligence and transnational imagination." — Nancy Fraser, Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor Emerita of Philosophy, New School for Social Research"The volume presents a much-needed and extremely rich panorama of contemporary Italian feminist thought. It covers key moments, people, and issues in the recent history of Italian feminism while at the same time providing original and intelligent insights into recent interventions and voices, including important developments in Italian transfeminist and Black Italian perspectives. I believe the volume makes an extremely valuable and important contribution to the field of Italian feminist studies, to Italian studies more generally, and, thanks in particular to its transnational perspective, to gender studies as a whole. As a result, I am convinced the collection will reach a broad international readership." — Loredana Polezzi, coeditor of Transnational Italian Studies
