In her 1971 text Let’s Spit on Hegel, Carla Lonzi radically criticised patriarchal culture and what it had meant for women. It has been used to justify and defent the subordination of women as something permissible and beneficial. Lonzi became aware of this situation thanks to feminism and the Rivolta Femminile group, to which she belonged. She commitment to feminist policy is designed to highlight the inauthenticity of patriarchal culture, which exploits relationships, as a way to stress the need for another culture with more authentic and freer values. The conflict between these two consciousnesses was reflected in her book Vai Pure. Dialogo con Pietro Consagra.Downloads
