★The book revolves around female empowerment and the question "What does it Mean to be a woman?" of current social concern.
★The reason why she feels this burning dissatisfaction is very simple: she is a woman. This does not mean that she is complicated and incomprehensible, hysterical and indomitable, intractable and uterine. It means, on the contrary, that she is part of a history of submission and silence. Even if she has not experienced them.
★English sample available.

Philosophy helps to place question marks at the end of sentences, like small bombshells at the end of the line. No longer “woman”, but “woman?”. No longer “do this”, but “do you do that?”. No longer “it has always been like this”, but “has it always been like this?”. In this way, every preconception explodes, opening up secret passageways unthinkable and otherwise invisible.

What does it mean to be a woman? Do not raise your voice and do not rebel. Obey the father, the husband, the society. It means calm and submission. It means to be a good girl, then a good wife and a good mother. Through eight stories the authors tell the other side of the moon: that is how since the dawn of humanity, in sagas, legends and literary epics, the models of strong women have always been silenced.

From a revisited version of the stories of Hera, Medea, Daenerys, Morgana, Maleficent, Difred, Elena, Dina, if you ask the right questions, you will see different ways to look at them and their femininity, different ways to understand the mechanisms that surround and trap. With the guide of philosophy, these portraits of women teach how to turn cages into keys and how to turn difficulties into opportunities.

ANDREA COLAMEDICI and MAURA GANCITANO are two philosophers, and the creators of Tlon, philosophy school, publishing house and theater bookshop, where they organize workshops of philosophy in Italy and abroad. Together they wrote Lezioni di meraviglia e Tu non sei Dio: fenomenologia della spiritualità contemporanea.
