"Will women always be divided from one another? Will they never form a single body?" (Olympe de Gouges, 1791) On the 40th anniversary of Carla Lonzi's death. We are women who vote for every political party. We live in every part of the country. We belong to every social condition. We are mothers and non-mothers. We have a faith, or we are agnostics, or atheists. We are held together by being women and the knowledge that what is good for a woman and her daughters/daughters is good [...]

Incredibly -and with a secret vote, wickedly conceded by President Casellati- a few days ago, the Senate rejected the Maiorino amendment authorising women in the institutions to be called by their names. This issue has profound political relevance. Many poets over the centuries have made use of poetic licences, i.e. intentional grammatical, metrical and syntactic errors with the intention of emphasising a concept or altering the sonority of the composition. On 27 July 2022 at Palazzo Madama is [...]

War or no war, Covid or no Covid, next week in the Senate - presumably Wednesday 27th - the PD will re-submit the Zan bill. As it stands. No objections have been considered, let alone discussed. Gender identity - the thing they care most about, the real lintel of the law - remains at the centre, with training in schools and all the rest. The western world is backing away after seeing the damage caused by gender self-identification and self-id, a [...]

Maternity, work, uterus for rent, gender identity, transition of minors, women's health, male violence, prostitution, politics and elections, women in the South, ecological transition.

These are the objectives of the political work of the next few months: if anyone is interested in taking part in this work, choosing one of [...]

The position of women in politics is further diminished and mortified by the Quirinale affair. Starting with Una Donna, all the female names thrown into the fray, from Elisabetta Belloni to Marta Cartabia, Emanuela Severino, Letizia Moratti and Elisabetta Casellati - who spontaneously offered her throat to the torturer, unable to control her ambition - ended up in the meat grinder of the terrible, ramshackle, surreal game of male leaders. With the exception of Giorgia Meloni who has played on her own and -whether or not we share the [...]

Dear all, and also dear ones who read us, from my Milanese point of view I can state without fear of contradiction that practically all families - including my own, and including the many families made up of a single person - are currently affected by Covid, which will make this end of 2021 unforgettable. I can also state without fear of contradiction the sidereal distance between those who govern cities and territories and the problems of the citizens, at this time abandoned [...]

The document we are proposing to you is the result of the reflections of women who are passionate about politics, and is addressed to women who are already present in institutions or interested in becoming part of them, to those who aspire to undertake government action, and to those who work in groups, associations and movements, proposing 10 practices that can accompany and make the political desire of each of them more aware. We propose it as a gift, bearing in mind the occasion of the imminent local elections in many Italian cities. FOREWORD This [...]
