Teresa and Camilla: a hidden conflict, 1995, n. 26-27, pp. 18-30
The author looks at the reason and features of the conflict which, ever since the 20s, opposed two great leaders of the Italian communist party, Teresa Noce and Camilla Ravera.
It was a "hidden" conflict, because in the fascist period the party itself had to go into hiding, working clandestinely; but also because it never became explicit in its personal roots, linked to the different experiences and backgrounds of the two women. The total adhesion of both to the party ideals and to its political struggles contained and disciplined the conflict, also in the area more clearly under discussion and disagreement: i.e. their conceptions of the fight for female emancipation.
