About Storia delle Donne

The first issue of Storia delle Donne was published in 2005. The journal was foundet as a the collaboration of specialist scholars from different periods and disciplines – trained in schools of various Italian universities – and is proposed as a publication with a high scientific content. The current editor-in-chief is Dinora Corsi from the University of Florence.

SdD has an annual frequency, the numbers are thematic and almost completely devoid of headings because of the editorial choice to present each issue as a unicum in order to better understand, focus and develop the evidence and importance of the proposed topic.

The idea behind the SdD project looks at the link between history and women’s politics, but gives priority to the one between history and politics for women and with women; this is one of the reasons why the choice of the theme of the files is dictated by the processes in progress and the urgency that contemporary society proposes. The theme is developed in the Present section by contributions that illustrate it with cross-references of intentionally multidisciplinary approach and method, without this identifying SdD with the interdisciplinary nature of Women’s Studies.

In the Past section the essays give back the historical and diachronic depth in the longue durée, which stretches from ancient civilizations to the contemporary age. SdD pays particular attention to the research of young scholars and scholars.

All texts published in SdD are evaluated, according to the double blind peer review method, by two referees identified within a wide circle of specialists.
