PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS A WOMAN - SIBILLA ALE...

'A groundbreaking  earthquaking vision  a story and a manifesto  and a literary performance so
energetic it almost demands to be read aloud' Guardian 'To love  to sacrifice oneself  and to
submit! Was this what all women were destined for?' When her carefree  aspirational childhood
in a seaside town is brought brutally to an end  the nameless narrator of Sibilla Aleramo's
blazing autobiographical novel discovers the shocking reality of life for a woman in Italy at
the dawn of the twentieth century. As she begins to recognize the similarities between her own
predicament and the plight of her mother and the women around her  she becomes convinced that
she must escape her fate. Unashamed and remarkably ahead of its time  A Woman is a landmark in
European feminist writing. 'Aleramo was ahead of her time' Times Literary Supplement
