Femminismo al lavoro. Come le donne hanno cambiato il sindacato in Italia e in Francia (1968-1983)
Il volume indaga l’impegno femminista degli anni Settanta, declinato nel contesto della lotta sindacale e dei diritti del lavoro, attraverso una nuova prospettiva di ricerca costruita a partire da numerose interviste inedite alle protagoniste di una stagione capace di modificare profondamente la società dell’epoca.
