The Feminist Movement and the Marxist-Leninist Groups in Italy, 1980, n.
14, pp. 87-102
On the basis of the experience of Marxist-Leninist feminists, Rossilli analyzes the mistakes made by New Left groups (as well as by the "revisionist" Italian Communist Party) in accepting ideas which are a betrayal of true Leninism. A new theoretical-political conception of the revolutionary process is needed, one which sees it as the convergence of liberation movements in a coherent aim towards revolution; it is necessary to overcome the partiality of seeing the contradiction of sex as separated from the contradiction of class.

Made in Germany, 1997, n. 36, pp. 50-51
The two papers translated and introduced here by Maria Grazia Rossilli - one by a feminist from former DDR (Eva Schäfer), the other by two feminist political scientists from West Germany (Birgit Sauer and Sabine Lang) - were presented at the lOth Berkshire Women's History Conference in 1996: one argues in favour and the other against feminist post-modern theories.
They are especially interesting insofar as they contextualize the issues under discussion within a political assessment of German feminism. The defeats of East German feminists would seem to confirm Sauer and Lang's hypothesis that post-modern theories mirror the fragmentation of feminist political action.
