Beschreibung
This biography of writer, translator, teacher, and feminist Ada Gobetti, the first in English or Italian, frames her activism in the Resistenza as a chapter in a lifetime of resistance.
By the time Turin was liberated in April 1945, writer, translator, teacher, and women's rights activist Ada Gobetti had been fighting fascism for almost twenty-five years. This biography frames her wartime activism in the
Resistenza as a chapter in a lifetime of resistance. Gobetti participated in the underground
Giustizia e Libertà movement, and helped to found the
Partito d'Azione, a political party whose members asked her to represent them as vice mayor of Turin after the war. For Gobetti, the
Resistenza also brought an awareness of the specific talents, needs, and rights of Italian women. This led her to organize other Italian women against German occupiers and Fascist oppressors, found an underground women's newspaper, and solidify her views regarding women as a political force. After 1945, resistance meant espousing a set of ideals exemplified by the best that came out of the
Resistenza, ideals of grassroots democracy, women's rights, and democratic education for which Gobetti would fight for the rest of her life.
Jomarie Alano is a visiting scholar at Cornell University's Institute for European Studies. She is the translator and editor of Ada Gobetti's
Diario partigiano, published by Oxford University Press in 2014 as
Partisan Diary: A Woman's Life in the Italian Resistance.
