- Writing for Freedom is the first full-length monograph in English on Sapienza. It is based on substantial doctoral research and won the “2015 Peter Lang Young Scholar Competition in Women’s Studies”. The book develops an extended analysis of five novels by Sapienza and provides a comprehensive interpretation of her oeuvre, establishing its originality and significance within the the diverse contexts of 20th-century Italian literature and transnational philosophical reflections on ethics, politics and gender. Themes of freedom, the body, sexuality, autobiography and political commitment are explored by weaving together a range of philosophical discourses, including Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis and queer theory.
