Stories of women who have escaped the algorithm of history and fame but who deserve to be told. Antonio Losito takes us on an ideal dialogue, with the irreverent tone that distinguishes him, between six women from the past, who have contributed to building our present, and six women from the present who are building our future.

PISA 1940 has chosen to give voice to these women, united by the desire to overcome the canons and social conventions of their time with intelligence, passion and determination.
