Subject: since the beginning of the century, the date of March 8 has marked an occasion of the highest symbolic value which in recent years, although trivialized by the media and sometimes reduced to a consumerist ritual, remains an opportunity for broad mobilization and transmission of memory between generations. The volume, accompanied by a DVD presenting historical images and interviews with protagonists of Italian politics over the past 50 years, traces the history of this commemoration, revealing certain mysteries about its origin and the various transformations of meaning it has undergone over time. Its political significance is thus brought into the present: March 8 has a glorious past and a future that younger women will have the responsibility to write.
