CONTENTS

I N EMBARKING ON MY OWN REPRESENTATIONAL CHALLENGE BY writing this book, I feel deeply grateful. This research would not have been possible without the help of many persons who, in different ways, supported, challenged, provoked, encouraged, and cared for me and this creative enterprise.

I want to thank all the women who generously shared their lives and stories with me: first, the Macaremy beloved sisters and teachersand the women of Unione delle Donne in Italia (Union of Women in Italy, or UDI). I thank you for your trust, for the many memorable moments spent together, for the warmth and generosity that you showed me since we met in 2011. I cherish your presence in my life and the many life lessons I learned by spending time with you. I hope that I do justice, in this book, to the beauty, complexity, passion, and political drive that animate your lives and that make you the exceptional human beings you are.

A special thanks to Pina Nuzzo, whose insights and political vision are always as elegant and lucid as her art. The ways in which your two passionsart and politicsintertwine in your life and political activism is always a source of inspiration for me.
