We will talk about it on the 20th of June with Concetta Palermo, feminist activist from Open Catania, Deborah Ardilli, translator, scholar of theory and history of feminism and Sara Garbagnoli, feminist sociologist, Laboratoire d’Études de Genre et de Sexualité (Paris) to understand together what weapons this capital figure of feminism and political lesbianism still has to offer our battles.
