Some reflexions on the "solidarity", 1979, n. 10-11, pp. 6-24
There are differences in solidarity connected with sex if we compare women solidarity with all other kinds of solidarity we know? Which are the purposes of this solidarity? Beginning with these questions and in the framework of the hypothesis of an oppression's theory, that article tries to find and define new ways of analysis of women solidarity. Among the cultural and social models of interaction which have been historically imposed to women, the authors find more significant in order to individuate the characters of solidarity, those models of solidarity based on role's acceptance and on a concordance of finalised and inscribed aims.
The author's thesis aim to underline the central role of emotional ties, of socialisation's experiences and of mother-daughter relation in the process of the formation of solidarity. Both cases show evident limits: lack of stability and of parity. Nevertheless it is important to consider these aspects of the question if we want to presume an hypothesis of sex solidarity, and, in according with the author, the appeal to prior solidarity models cannot have effective results.

[Projects, Project Making], 1986, n. 2, pp. 26-28
The author (a lecturer at Rome University, historian, on the "Memoria" editorial board) expresses doubts on the questions and their generality. "Gendered project making shouldn't continue to be a general idea. It must be specified in order for it to be used by every woman as an instrument of self revelation, of refusal of oppression, of correction of particular forms of alienation or injustice".
