Different sectors of the editorial board exchange
letters in a moment of crisis of the review's project and of its editing group.
Annarita Buttafuoco and Maricla Tagliaferri underline
the need to reflect on the review's format and its meaning in the present situation
of the women's movement, on its fluctuating between being a scientific journal
and a militant magazine, on its scarcely reactive public, on the failed turnover
both of its editors and of its buyers. The project's stalemate and the growing
hardship of the organization burden are at the same time cause and effect of
a break in the relationships between editors which hinders reflection and reduces
everything to a question of personal relations. In front of all this the writers
propose to find other references for the quarterly's future.
Rosanna De Longis, Donata Lodi and Gabriella
Turnaturi declare they cannot and will not continue to be part of the editorial
board, considering the existing contradictions with the quarterly's direction
and property.
Biancamaria Amoretti Scarcia, Tilde Capomazza, Gemma Luzzi, Maria Teresa Morreale, Dora Stiefelmeier point out that "the quarterly's property" is made up of the group of women who founded the review in 1976 pouring on it ideas, work and energy; some years later they have entrusted the new board with the review's heritage, "without expecting profits, without demanding financial control, without intervening in any way on the review's political line". Involved in the editorial board's crisis which threatened the review's continuity, the quarterly's property met the editors and emphasized its will to grant the above mentioned continuity. It also began a series of encounters with women willing to express a new project, collectively reconsidering the review's political function and the production structure necessary to secure its existence.
