We envisioned this Invited Perspectives section as a space for dialogue with Italian public intellectuals from different political backgrounds, experiences, and even evolving positions. To our delight, Nathasha Edirippulige Fernando, Dacia Maraini, Flavia Perina, and Marina Terragni agreed to participate in our project. Our goal for this section was to discuss women and feminism in Italy in a succinct and direct manner following Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s historic election.
