- Between 1930 and 1960, popular female dramatists Paola Riccora, Anna Bonacci, Clotilde Masci and Gici Ganzini Granata set the stage for a new generation of Italian women playwrights and the development of feminist theatre. Now largely forgotten, the lives and works of these dramatists are reintroduced into the scholarly conversation in Italian women's theatre, 1930-1960.
