Intellectual, nomad and polyglot: a Hungarian witch and
Italian feminism
This article focuses on Agnes Hochberg (1964-1995), a feminist and
scholar, engaged in the Hungarian feminist movement since 1990 and, in the
meantime, in a research project on the history of the Italian and American
feminist movements of the 1960s and 1970s, focusing in particular on the
practice of consciousness-raising and the ways in which it was transmitted
from one country to another. An analysis of her work is useful to look in
a critical way at our approach to the history of neo-feminism, and to rediscuss
methodological categories such as “transnational feminisms”, and the
periodization of feminist movements.
