From the renowned Italian writer Dacia Maraini to Emma Bonino, politician and civil rights activist; from Sussan Deyhim, an exiled Iranian composer and singer, to Tomaso Binga, a visual and verbal artist who uses her body to challenge male power, and finally to Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, a Japanese painter and sculptor, widow of the painter Balthus.<\/p>\n
At the heart of the story lies the woman\u2014and her body\u2014as a catalyst for events, offering their immortal principles to their sisters and to the history of our time. Each of them, with her unique voice and hands, has affirmed her identity in the world, transcending the constraints of time and space, embodying that irrepressible force of presence that only women can truly possess.<\/p>\n
On one side of the narrative are Tomaso, Dacia, and Emma, who lived through the powerful wave of Italian historical feminism and reflect on its legacy\u2014sharing memories, passions, and the changes it brought to women and to themselves. On the other side of the story\u2014and of the world\u2014are the lives of Setsuko and Sussan. The former, as a young woman, falls for the genius Balthus. Not yet married, she quietly sparks her own revolution by following him to Italy despite their 35-year age gap and the judgment of society at the time. Sussan, an Iranian singer, dancer, and musician, recounts\u2014through her art\u2014not only her own struggle, but also that of many other Iranian female artists, such as Shirin Neshat and the poet Forough Farrokhzad. Then as now, they resist the daily assault on women\u2019s bodies, vilified and erased in Iran and in many other parts of the world.<\/p>\n
An extraordinary journey through the lives of extraordinary women\u2014marked by passion, love, strength, and resilience.<\/p>\n
