The slow (as written by hand) and engaging narrative of this book describes the search for meaning in life through the female perspective.

This book weaves the canvas of the feminine thought and lexicon: a long journey through the words of writers, and some philosophers; a study of their point of view, and a reflection on the legacy they leave.

Freedom, care, abandonment, love, care, desire, pain, passion: what are the words of the feminine lexicon? In the pursuit of shadows, footprints, voluntary traces, works and facts of life, and in the midst of published and annotated books, the writer Sandra Petrignani reveals the essence of being women, bringing to light their profound vocabulary. Through Virginia Woolf, Elsa Morante, Natalia Ginzburg, Marguerite Duras and many others this book seeks (and finds) the outline of the design of a common destiny: a map to orientate oneself in the present, after so much past and a confused future that sometimes seems to retreat and threatens to take away from women the many fought conquests. Not because women's journey is always right. But, on the contrary, because so far humanity has only had the “voice” of men. Perhaps the thought of women - inseparable from the materiality of things, or the urgency of life- has another point of view. This is a naturally self-critical thought, since the female voice has always been more solitary, less exposed, fragmentary, and mostly ignored (by men) or derided.
