I am Italian and I can see this image.
Unfortunately in my Country the condition of the woman is at very low levels. I am very surprised that this is an issue of La Tartaruga (The Turtle), a publisher known for publishing books written by women. Unfortunately it was not fully understood the significance of this important text. As a great admirer of Virginia Woolf, I am ashamed that this happened just in Italy.
Greetings to all,
Sara
