Abstract

Maria Antonieta Macciochi, who sought to embody the figure of the committed intellectual, undertakes an action in three ways: an account of everyday life with all its minor details and intensity, commentaries on the events of cultural world and political history of the major world transformation with the advent of the parlamentary Europe and new communist ideologies. The emergence of radical movements and feminism in the 1970's allowed this figure of post-nomadism. She fought in every battle of her time. In Macciocchi's eclecticism there is a willingness to invent, after Simone de Beauvoir, a new archetype of intellectual woman which was long lacking in the West.
