Le donne di Morselli. L’Io narrante femminile nei «Racconti» e la concinnitas morselliana

Abstract

The essay analyzes Morselli's treatment of female characters in his collection of stories Una missione fortunata e altri racconti and in his novel Incontro col comunista, where the first-person narrator is a woman. The study highlights the thematic and stylistic homogeneity of the stories and Morselli's depiction of the habits and psychology of the newly emerging figure of the career woman in Italy in the 60s/ 70s, with her search for emotional and economic autonomy.
