Five extraordinary women of our time tell about their bold femininity. From writer Dacia Maraini to Emma Bonino, politician and civil rights activist; from Sussan Deyhim, Iranian composer and singer in exile, to Tomaso Binga, a verbovisual artist who uses her body to challenge male power, to Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, Japanese painter and sculptor, wife of the painter Balthus. At the heart of the story are women and their bodies, catalysts of events and memory. The lives of these resilient women, balancing passion and resistance, are an immortal gift to the sisters of yesterday and tomorrow.
