biographies

biographiesWomen from every place and time

Biographies of real women, living now or in the past. First and last names. Every one of them making up a story, and every single story joining a landscape of stories, all together making up History. Without women’s stories – without the story of all women, famous and ordinary, each with her own path and complexity, it is not a good History: it is only an outline, an approximation, a jumble of summaries that do not resemble anything real. And do harm.

our project

our projectHere we build our Encyclopaedia of Women

This work is made possible by many scattered pieces: documentation centers, bookshops, associations, libraries, archives, universities, websites: every piece of research is the tile of a mosaic. As repayment for this immense work, which began well before our time, we are building this Encyclopaedia – an operation that has always set forth to collect, illuminate, build, and propagate knowledge.
