Abstract

Even though under Fascism Italy was experiencing a period of harsh and patriarchal dictatorship, a feminist writer such as Virginia Woolf was reviewed and discussed in the only forum where foreign ideas – and writers – could still be read: literary periodicals. She was actually introduced as a ‘grand lady of literature’ to the Italian reading public, through comments and analysis which, in some cases, were even deeper and more focused than those of British and American reviewers.
