The novel becomes the space for confession, while at the same time allowing greater expressive freedom. There is no longer one voice for the ""feminine role"" and, by creating heroines who are also intellectuals, these authors offer their readers models of alternative versions of self. This study is a partial inventory of the new women's narrative and aims to provide a broad literary framework through which both the general reader and the student can appreciate the characteristics and innovations of contemporary Italian women's fiction. The writers chosen for this study (Ginerva Bompiani, Edith Bruck, Paola Capriolo, Francesca Duranti, Rosetta Loy, Giuliana Morandini, Marta Morazzoni, Anna Maria Ortese, Sandra Petrignanni, Fabrizia Ramondino, Elisabetta Rasy and Francesca Sanvitale) have achieved both critical acclaim and public recognition and their texts show the richness of voices, topics and structures in Italian women's writing today." 410 0$aItalian perspectives ;$v3. 606 $aItalian prose literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aItalian prose literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen in literature 615 0$aItalian prose literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aItalian prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in literature. 676 $a853.914099287 700 $aWilson$b Rita, $f1953-$0988253 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796376403321 996 $aSpeculative identities$93739600 997 $aUNINA
