I generi e la storia. Femminile e maschile in rivoluzione

An essay on the becoming and future of gender, highlighting a long and unstoppable neo-modern journey towards new experiences and new bodies. Once upon a time, there was sex, an obvious difference that indicated female and male ways of being in the world. But even in this field, civilisation has gone beyond the constraints imposed by Nature: its genetics, its anatomical plans, its law. And here is gender. A word that helps us describe attitudes, roles, identities, but which also reveals inequalities and discrimination. This passionate and militant book follows the thread of a story held together by the progress, in Western societies, of civil rights. The feminist emancipation project has been a formidable engine of transformation. The future that awaits us is marked by a new dialectic, in which we will redistribute the traits of the feminine and masculine into ever more evolutionary, elastic and personal embodiments.
