Pieno di Noi. Voices of Italian Lesbians in the second half of the 20th century

Anedda, Eleonora

Pieno di Noi is the exploration of the lives of two Italian women, Alessandra Frau and Bianca Pomeranzi, their relationship with their family, the discovery of their sexual orientation, the coming out process, social relations, associationism, their workplace environment, and social spaces. The thesis is characterised by a strong interest in the everyday life of Italian lesbians, and how their life choices might have been influenced by society, religion, and politics.

Keywords: Italian lesbian history, Italian feminist movement, activism, queer spaces
