Abstract

The goals of this particular work are: (1) to introduce various aspects of Umberto Notari's life together with a description of his involvement in the Italian politics; (2) to remark his challenge against partakers of the hypocritical and conventional Italian morality; (3) to point out a new meaning of the femininity concept. As a matter of fact, Notari declares that the 20th century woman not only could be a wife and a mother but also an economically indipendent-working woman within the industrial society.
