La diversità del femminile: Neera femminista ed antifemminista

Abstract

In her writings, which deal with the problem of women’s emancipation, Neera expresses what appears to be a very conservative stance. Her narrative works reveal both the oppressive power of a seductive and paralysing father image and her profound outlook on femininity. Far from being the mere accomplishment of a biological function, motherhood is an experience which, extended to all women, enables them to elevate themselves to a plane of spiritual superiority
