Anna Bravo was associate professor of Social History at the University of Turin. She has written extensively on the history of women, memory, the history of deportation, genocide, armed and civil resistance. She only started to write about the 60s and 70s in Italy after controversies raised by an article she published on violence and abortion in the seventies. But like many others who lived through those times, she had long reflected on their significance. Her most recent published works include: The Photo story (Bologna 2003); ‘The Righteous’ in the Encyclopedia of the Holocaust (Italian version edited by Alberto Cavaglion, Turin 2003); the essay Us and Violence. Thirty Years to Think About Us, published in the first edition of “Genesis” (2005).

Margherita Pelaja works in publishing and conducts research into social history and the history of sexuality between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. She was one of the founders of “Memoria”, a review dedicated to the history of women and of the Italian Society of Historians. She is the author of numerous articles and essays.
