Relational Spaces: Daughterhood, Motherhood, and Sisterhood in Dacia Maraini's Writings and Films

By Virginia Picchietti

This book analyzes Dacia MarainiOs works in the light of Italian feminist discourse on the family. It features works in prose, poetry, theater, and cinema in the context of the literary considerations of the family populating twentieth-century literature. In its investigation of MarainiOs revisionary narratives, the study uses the metaphor of space to analyze the relational sites in which MarainiOs heroines develop and the generic spaces through which they express themselves.
