"In taking a kaleidoscopic stance on the founding figure and central stakes of Italian separatist feminism, while addressing a broader English-speaking readership, Feminism and Art in Postwar Italy: The Legacy of Carla Lonzi is not only an impressive but also a timely editorial and research achievement." - Third Text "This eagerly anticipated volume offers prismatic perspectives on the work of Carla Lonzi, whose legacy as a writer and an activist could not be more relevant. These deeply researched and personally motivated essays deliver a thrilling contribution to feminist art history." -- Julia Bryan-Wilson, Doris and Clarence Malo Professor, University of California, Berkeley, USA "For too long excluded from accounts of second-wave feminism, Carla Lonzi's challenging writing and radical collective practice receive eloquent reappraisal in this important collection. Driven by the search for women's autonomy and mutual recognition, Lonzi attempted to withdraw from oppressive patriarchal culture-a project that has profound contemporary resonance." -- Helena Reckitt, Reader in Curating, Department of Art, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK "Carla Lonzi is little known in the anglophone world, her writing little translated, and her revolutionary feminist praxis overlooked. Here, artists and writers explore aspects of her thought, her activity, and her impact. Fifty years after she quit the art world, and facing renewed crises in cultural, sexual, class, and racial politics, we have much to learn still from her strategies of refusal and assent, kinship and difference.
