Women's publishing: an international encounter in Oslo, 1986, n. 3, pp. 107-112
The second international Fair of the feminist book which took place in Oslo, an event, the author points out, the Italian press gave very little importance to, is the occasion for a serious reflection articulated in five points: women's book trade in Italy is still a very fragile enterprise; the big publishing houses' policy in Italy is still to pursue authorship, without taking much notice of women as authors or readers; culture produced by women in Italy doesn't circulate much abroad; an urgent reflection is needed on the way differences between women interact, within a frame by now become quite wide: they are generational differences, difference of sexual political choices, difference of possibility and culture between women of the First and Third world.

Debate [Trial: let's listen: two meetings on politics], 1992, n. 16, pp.
7-23
Two encounters took place in December 1991 and February 1992 in the review's headquarters. The debate occurred in two moments, of which an account is given here synthetically but, on the whole, accurately. Elena Gentili, Ida Dominijanni, Annamaria Crispino, Maria Luisa Boccia, Annalisa Biondi, Roberta Tatafiore, Alessandra Bocchetti, Paola Masi, Vania Chiurlotto, Paola Bono, Marina Pivetta, Tilde Capomazza, Mariella Gramaglia, Rosanna Marcodoppido, Luciana Viviani, Rosetta Stella took part in the debate.
The principal issues were: the relation between social change and the creation of a female symbolic, in the connection of political practice and political action; the importance of language and of the reached, possible, necessary levels of comunication; the problem of the collective subject's possible residual quality, with the reasons which may create it and the ways of avoiding it by once more extending confrontation within the feminist community and beyond.
