description: A dynamic collection of multimedia work, Italian Women's Anthology provides a forum for critical discourse about location and identity within Italian cultures. It explores Northern/Southern issues, family expectations, domestic violence, incest survival, coming out issues, community and isolation. Italian Women's Anthology examines the roles of religion, language, class, race, gender, ability and sexuality; documents how Italian women are transforming their communities, excavating social, economic, and psychological experiences of living in Italy and abroad; and by mothers, grandmothers, aunts and sisters, these reflections launch the processes of naming pain, of shedding myth, stereotype and distortion of self and other; and they move us toward exploring dreams, toward building a stronger coalition politic.
