BEING WOMEN

Essere donne

Directed by Cecilia Mangini
Italy, 1965

Dissects precisely the paternalistic division of labor in Italy during the economic miracle era. Through the juxtaposition of the work of women in the factory, at home, in the fields, in the tobacco industry, not only do Italy’s capitalist structures come to light.
