Description
Introduction The study of Italian Futurist women was ignored in writings about Futurism, until feminism brought a new focus in the Italian Futurist women. Italian Futurist women are remarkable in history, because they rejected the traditional perceptions of women in Italian society. They denied the household image of women and participated in the movement of Futurism. Futurist Women participated in poetry, painting, cinema and dance. Some of these women were Benedetta Cappa Marinetti, Maria Goretti, Dina Cuchini, Maria Franca Cornel H, Valentine De Saint-Point, and Sibilla Alleramo. (1) They wrote abstract novels, expressed their free spirit in paintings, embraced "avant-garde" technology and made important contributions to Futurism. De Saint-Point deserves special mention for having written two of the famous Futurist manifestos: Manifesto of Futurist Women 1912 and Manifesto of Lust 1913.
