Women, Feminism and Italian Cinema

Exploring the intersection of feminism and Italian cinema during a transformative era, this book examines how the feminist movement influenced film culture from the late 1950s to the 1970s. It highlights women's roles as movie-goers, activists, and practitioners, revealing their collective agency in challenging patriarchal norms. Utilizing a feminist lens grounded in Gramscian cultural theory, the work constructs an archival counter-history that showcases women's everyday relationships with cinema and their impact on the medium.
