Description
A Woman by Sibilla Aleramo is a groundbreaking and unflinching autobiographical novel that explores the harsh realities of life for women in Italy at the dawn of the twentieth century. When her carefree childhood is brutally cut short, the narrator sets out to escape her predetermined fate, driven by a desire to break free from the societal expectations placed upon her. This landmark work of European feminist writing is a powerful and thought-provoking portrayal of one woman's struggle for autonomy and self-discovery. Unashamedly honest and remarkably prescient, A Woman is a testament to Sibilla Aleramo's courage and conviction as a writer.
