Stories of Incredible Normalcy

What is the state of contemporary Italian women? You can’t tell from the media, which is saturated with images of objectified women: escorts, models, and women determined to be beautiful no matter the cost, who wield their attractiveness like a commodity.


This book aims to spotlight the ‘normal women’ who are not represented in the media. The stories collected in this anthology were written by women of different ages, educational backgrounds, and geographical origins united by a single objective: to offer a multifaceted snapshot of Italian women in contemporary society. It is a collection of extraordinarily funny, dramatic, and authentic stories to which every woman can relate.
